While I totally agree with most of your points, I’d like to respectfully offer a slightly different opinion on points #2 and #8.

#2 Change Your Bed Sheets- on my site http://www.liveliketim.com I recommend changing bedsheets every week, and pillow cases at least twice a week. It’s amazing the amount of bacteria, makeup, dead skin, bed mites, etc. that live in those sheets. They cause allergies, acne, and other medical issues.

#8 Low GI Snack- great suggestion about carbs, but I would switch the food recommendation to something less fattening. Peanut butter takes a long time to digest and releases calories into your system while you sleep. We have a much lower need for calories during rest, and often the excess is turned into fat. A highly digestible whey or casein protein shake (20-30g is all you need) may be a better option. Protein acts as a building block for muscle and other tissue repair first, and is an energy source second. Protein has also been shown as a main factor in feelng satisfied after a meal. Much less of the protein will be turned into fat because it goes to body repair (which is what sleep if for), and it should curb your hunger as well.

I hope this helps, and thank you for starting the discussion! It’s great that people are taking sleep seriously

Have a wonderful night,
Tim
