The ONE Thing That Keeps Us Sleeping Longer

Written by Kacper Postawski


The ONE Thing That Keeps Us Sleeping Longer Probably one ofrepparttar biggest challenges people have is getting themselves out ofrepparttar 114158 bed! This really has nothing to do with understanding sleep science or any ofrepparttar 114159 information I teach, It has to do with your will power, and a little bit of strategy. You've probably had many times in your life where you just couldn't get yourself out of bed. The biggest reason why we tend to stay in bed is because we "rationalize." For instance... "I'll just sleep for 10 more minutes..." or "It's okay,... The alarm is early by 2.5 minutes anyway..." or "I'll get up whenrepparttar 114160 room warms up a bit..." Haha! Well, whatever you've rationalized not getting out of bed with, I'm sure it was very creative too, because as human beings we're really great at coming up with reasons for NOT DOING THINGS! The reason why rationalizing makes us stay in bed, or prevents us from achieving many other goals in our lives is because it creates negative momentum. The law of momentum states: Once something gets into motion, it tends to stay in motion. The opposite, is also true: Once something STOPS, it tends to STAY THERE! Once you make a decision to keep your butt in that bed for "a few more minutes..." It tends to STAY THERE, and it usually stays there for A LOT LONGER THAN A FEW MINUTES! That's why I teach people to create a momentum strategy to get out of bed as quickly as possible, and START MOVING, start moving aroundrepparttar 114161 house, go for a run, make love with your partner, whatever it is you need to do to start moving and stop sleeping. When you create positive momentum it will be TOO LATE to rationalize about sleep because you'll already be out of your bed! So here are just a couple of strategies YOU could use to get out of bed quickly and get more out of your day : #1) The "Distant Alarm" Method Most people place their alarms right next to their bed within reach. This is a BIG no no if you want to avoid staying in your bed. Why? Because most ofrepparttar 114162 time YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO ROLL OVER to pressrepparttar 114163 alarm. That doesn't create a lot of movement and definitely doesn't stop you from sleeping your life away. Instead of placing your alarm clock by your bed, place it far away, like atrepparttar 114164 end of your bedroom byrepparttar 114165 corner ofrepparttar 114166 wall! By doing this you'll be forced to get up out of your bed to turn it off! Byrepparttar 114167 time you're out of bed it will be too late to rationalize staying longer in bed, you'll be out already.

Can Sleeping 8 Hours Kill You Faster?

A recent study done byrepparttar University of California andrepparttar 114157 shocking finding of it: "People who sleep 8 hours or more have a 50% higher mortality (death) rate than people who sleep less." Yes, it's true that such a study was carried out, in fact in a moment I will give you a link to a short 2 page report onrepparttar 114158 entire study so you can read about it for yourself, and viewrepparttar 114159 results of it.

However, does this mean that sleeping longer will create a higher chance of death and disease for you?

No. There's no solid proof for that, but as you read about this study, and if you've readrepparttar 114160 two free chapters I sent you from our Powerful Sleep eBook, you might have realizedrepparttar 114161 connection between less sleep, your daily energy levels, andrepparttar 114162 strength of your immune system.

As you might notice, it's during deep sleep that your body undergoes major physiological changes to repair your muscles, power up your immune system and replenish your energy.

The question really isn't "how long should I sleep?" The question really is...

"How can I optimize my sleep system to gain POWERFUL and QUALITY sleep."

You see, there is a difference between quantity, and quality. The problem, andrepparttar 114163 challenge is that most people don't understand sleep. They think sleep is a very basic thing that happens to us every night. I mean, think about it, we sleep, we wake up, and we magically feel refreshed, right? Because of this misunderstanding, many people live today with very out of balance sleeping systems that are deprive you of your energy, without even being aware of it.

Sleep is actually quite a complex and fascinating system. Here, briefly, arerepparttar 114164 effects of sleeping longer: Sleeping longer than you need to will weaken your sleep system, as you reduce your prior wakefulness, exposure to sunlight, activity levels, and your body temperature at a low for too long. As a result, your melatonin hormone levels will stay high longer, you'll be more tired and drowsy duringrepparttar 114165 day When you sleep for long periods of time, your body temperature doesn't rise as quickly inrepparttar 114166 morning. This results in feeling very drowsy and tired forrepparttar 114167 early part of your day. If you stay inactive, this body temperature pattern will lead to poor sleep, which will prevent you from sleeping deeply. This weakened sleep system and inability to get proper restful and energizing sleep creates low energy levels and a weakened immune system.
