Burning The Midnight Oil And Learning How To Lose Arm Fat

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

Most women know that when figuring out how to lose arm fat, sleep is important. Why? Because it's when arm-fat-burning hormones are secreted and when body repair takes place.

What most women do NOT know, is that sleep has a tremendous impact on levels of perceived effort. How is this possible? Because certain neurotransmitters are restocked when you are in the dream state of sleep.

And if you miss out on sleep, you will be in a very bad mood the next day. The end result? Every single little effort to lose arm fat will seem astronomically difficult.

In essence, although sleep plays an important role in physical recovery, I believe its most important role lies in the effect it has on your mind.

So without further ado, here is how to lose more arm fat by getting more sleep:

1. Get some high intensity light. The light you are exposed to by staying indoors all day is not sufficient for your internal clock to establish a regular sleep rhythm. And without this rhythm, deep sleep will elude you. Thus, using some high intensity light in the form of a light box can be a great solution here.

2. Get hot. The best way to do this is to exercise hard, very hard. The higher your body temperature gets during the day, the more delta sleep you will get at night. Delta sleep, by the way, is the deepest phase of sleep. The more delta you get, the faster you will be able to lose arm fat.

3. Don't overdo it with caffeine. A little caffeine is great, a lot of caffeine is horrible. You see, caffeine can decrease the quality of your sleep without you knowing what's going on. Thus, you could get a full night's sleep, wake up tired and be clueless as to what happened. The solution? Have the smallest amount of caffeine possible for maximum effect.

4. Evacuate your thoughts. This will be most beneficial for women who suffer from the "racing mind" syndrome. In essence, your body needs a transitional period before entering deep sleep. So you must have at least one hour prior to bed for evacuating your mind. Movies and books can really help with this.

Not only is sleep important for body repair, but it's also extremely important for establishing a proper mood and outlook. If you are really serious about figuring out how to lose arm fat, then you should give sleep a top priority. Your mind will thank you for it! - 17273
