W i d e r Awake 
By Sandy Holterhaus, RD, LD
 
There have been many recent studies on the connection between a good night's sleep and weight management.  Could sleep be the third component you are missing besides exercise and calorie restriction?
 
A recent sleep restriction study shows that normal healthy adults who were restricted to four hours of sleep per night and thus had decreased stage 2 sleep and decreased periods of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep had:
  
- lower resting metabolic rates (burned fewer calories at rest)
  
- had increased appetites for sweet and salty foods
 
- had higher total energy, fat and carbohydrate intakes.
 
So if you are having trouble sleeping due to snoring, sleep apnea, acid reflux disease, menopause, stress or aging it may be adding to your difficulties in managing your weight. 
 
How do we improve our quality of sleep.  According to the National Sleep Foundation we must practice good sleep hygiene.  The best thing to remember is that our brains like routine; so going to bed approximately the same time every night and getting up at the same time every day is the healthiest scenario.  
 
Other strategies include:
 
- avoid naps during the day
 
- avoid chocolate, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and spicy foods before bedtime
 
-turn off TV's, computers and cell phones as well as dim lights as you unwind for bed 
 
For more information on weight management or to make an appointment with me call 295-2552.  Or see the dietitian brochure at:
