Sleeping the wrong way makes you fatter. Fix it now.

Everyone loves sleep. But did you know that sleeping the right way can help you lose weight?

It’s another one of the real life-saving tips I learned in Jessica’s guide, Secrets of the Skinny.

Look, you have to sleep every night anyway. Why not turn it into your secret weapon in the battle to blast away fat?

Here’s how to sleep the RIGHT way:

●     Avoid Blue Light. The light from your phone, TV, and computer is blue. And if you have to wake up early enough, you’ll notice that the sunrise light is also blue. This artificial blue light triggers your brain’s natural “wake-up sequence.” You can use a blue-light filter on your electronic devices… or simply avoid them for at least 2 hours before bed.

●     Have a protein-rich meal before bed. Ideally, you should have a protein shake with a low amount of carbs and sugars. Protein improves your sleep quality and helps you stay asleep throughout the night.

●     STOP drinking alcohol. Even a light beer has more empty calories than you need, and alcohol ruins your sleep quality. You might fall asleep sooner, but your brain is likely to stay active all night long. Alcohol doesn’t just add calories: it makes it harder for you burn calories the next day.

Try those out… see how much better your sleep (and body) become… And then, check out all 109 “lazy secrets” from Secrets of the Skinny!
