A good rest has always been called beauty sleep, but what a dream lean body? New research shows that individuals who are sleep deprived have a greater ability to lose weight and keep it off.

Here are 10 Tips to Improve Your Beauty Sleep:

1. Avoid before-bed snacks, particularly grains and sugars. This will raise blood sugar and inhibit sleep. Later, when blood sugar drops too low (hypoglycemia), you might wake up and not be able to fall back asleep.
2. No TV right before bedtime. Better yet, get the TV from the bedroom or even outside the house, completely. It is very stimulating to the brain and it will take longer to fall asleep. Also disruptive of pineal gland function for the same reason as above.
