Psalms 127:2 – “It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.” “Removing 220 calories from your day could make a big difference to your waistline, right? So here’s the simple way to make it happen: Set your DVR to record your favorite late-night shows. Then, hit the hay. In a study, people who stayed up late — and got less sleep as a result — munched down 220 more daily calories than the hit-the-sack-early crowd. The people in the study with later bedtimes averaged about 5.5 hours of sleep per night. The folks who crashed earlier slept about 8.5 hours. Although the sleep-deprived did not eat bigger meals, they did snack more than the well-rested group — and usually on high-carb foods eaten late in the evening.” (Real Age.com April 20, 2009) So for better health and a slimmer waistline, go to bed early, before 10:00 pm!
