As we have discussed, sleep is the third leg of the fitness stool. So finding ways to improve it is always beneficial.

One such way is to sleep in total darkness. Preventing light from reaching your hypothalamus via your optic nerve allows your body to produce melatonin. Melatonin is released as a response to the darkness and helps, among other things, regulate your sleep cycle. Furthermore, not getting enough sleep can mess with your melatonin production, which can result in a decreased immune system, blood pressure instability, increased plaques in the brain, and more. See why it’s the third leg of the fitness stool?

So avoid night lights, wear a sleep mask, use blackout curtains, turn down/off the alarm clock brightness, whatever it takes to get your room as dark as possible.

Jennie is an extremely dedicated, knowledgeable, and encouraging coach. She listened to my needs and what I wanted in a workout program. I love the Chalean Extreme program she recommended … Jennie also was readily available to answer any questions. She gave me so much encouragement during this time and provided informative articles on health and nutrition. I highly recommend Jennie as a dedicated coach to help you define and reach your health goals. Thank you so much Jennie for investing your time and energy into my fitness journey. I appreciate your efforts so much.
