Sleep - recovery time
Ask yourself this. "Do I get enough sleep?" If you burn the candle
at both ends or you thing Margeret Thatcher was right to get only 5 hours
sleep each night, the answer is, probably not.
We uncover the reasons why sleep is so important.
Today's woman works and plays very hard. High employment ambitions are enjoyed
and balanced out with nights out and lots of drinking.
Good as this may seem, it will soon takes it toll on your physical and mental
strength.
Generally we need 7 - 9 hours of sleep per day to physically and mentally
recover from the previous days activities.
However long working days and partying nights may mean you need to catch
up with lost sleep at the weekends.
The good news is that the body can self program itself to get the right
amount of sleep it needs if you have previously denied it.
So turn off the alarm clock at the weekends and allow your body to wake
up naturally. Lie in until 1 pm (or longer!) - your body probably deserves
it.
