And one essential element for getting rid of bingo wings is a good nights rest. Without it, your body won’t be able to absorb carbohydrates well, you’ll have excess feelings of hunger and your mood, motivation and resolve will all deteriorate.
To be brutally honest here, poor sleep could potentially ruin any arm-toning efforts on your part. It really is that important.
So here are some sleep tips to help you get rid of those bingo wings:
1. Get some light. Not just any light will do here. I recommend getting a light box which will produce very high intensity light. There are many companies that sell said lights. Use it in the morning for 30-60 minutes. You’ll notice an increase in energy and a sense of hyperness. And you’ll sleep much better.
2. Chronotherapy. If you’re going to sleep extremely late and you find it impossible to wake up early, then you’re better off rotating forward. Sleep three hours later every day until you hit the right time. Then force yourself to wake up at the same time every day or else you’ll keep going forward.
3. Increase hunger. But don’t go overboard here or you won’t be able to sleep. A minor caloric deficit towards the end of the day will help you fall asleep faster. Why? Because you’ll force your metabolism to slow down. And a slower metabolism will drop your body temperature which is critical for deep and restful sleep.
4. Stand up. A standing desk could be the best thing for you since sliced bread. Not only will your burn more calories and accelerate that bingo wing loss, but you’ll also build up chemicals in your brain which will help you sleep like a baby. Being sedentary is a prime cause for insomnia.
Losing bingo wings and poor sleep do NOT go hand in hand. If you really want to get toned arms once and for all, you have to manage your sleep like a pro. Getting a good nights rest is one of the most important things you can do to get sexy arms.
