Sleep and Energy
How to Create Energy From Nothing
A lot of people feel "tired",
and blame it on getting not enough sleep, or other external factors.
Basically, the fact that they're tired is always "out of
control." What they don't know is that there's a reason
for feeling "tired", and that there's a simple method
to change "tired" to "energized" in a heartbeat....
Most of us feel tired during
one of the four:
1) After waking up in the morning.
2) After intense physical activity, or long hours of work.
3) After sitting in one place for a long period of time.
4) During the evening, or in the late evening hours.
What do all four of those have
in common? There's one very common process that happens in our
bodies in all four cases. During all of these we all experience
very similar "symptoms" of tiredness. These include
yawning, rubbing our eyes, feeling sllooowww, and having the
urge to just get into bed and sleep.
Why Do We Get These "symptoms?"
Our bodies have a natural temperature
rhythm. Our body temperature rises when we are awake, and promotes
feelings of alertness. Our body temperature also falls when we're
sleeping, and promotes feelings of drowsiness, and a desire to
sleep.
The natural DROP of body temperature
in our bodies is a CUE for our body to produce feelings of tiredness,
drowsiness, and the strong urge to sleep. I call this the "natural
sleep response". When we're exercising, or putting excessive
physical demand on our body, our body temperature RISES rapidly,
however when you END the physical activity, there is a RAPID
body temperature DROP until your body temperature regulates sometime
after. It's during this DROP that most of us think there's no
other way out but to sleep, and we usually jump into bed and
do just that.
The feeling of the body temperature
drop after long hours of work is usually mistaken by us as a
deep need for sleep. In reality, we don't need to sleep, we just
need to "cool down". Allow me to give you a personal
example:
As a kid I used to work at
a FULL SERVE gas station for 8-9 hours in a row. This meant I
had to be on my feet running around pumping gas for 8-9 hours
with one 10 minute break. It was hell! Even when I had the early
morning shift I would come home and feel TOTALLY DRAINED and
TIRED, I usually fell asleep and slept till the evening.
However, as I began learning
the inner science of our sleep system and the inner sleep clock,
I tried a little experiment one day. Instead of going to sleep
I came home and played fetch with my dog out in the yard for
about 45 minutes instead. To my surprise, after just a few minutes
of a little light activity (throwing a plastic chewed up Frisbee
across the backyard), the feeling of tiredness faded and I was
able to stay awake and alert WAY into the early morning hours.
How did this work?
I simply allowed my body temperature
some time to return back to the normal pattern it proceeds. I
gave it time to "come down." When it returned back
to normal, I didn't feel tired and the intense pressure to sleep
faded.
This same body temperature drop happens after you sit in one
place for a long time. Listen, you could take a person who is
robust, athletic, and naturally energetic, but if you put them
in front of a TV for 3 hours, THEY WILL GET TIRED! This is simply
because our body temperature drops when we're NOT MOVING.
That's why the biggest antidote
to feeling tired is exercise and movement, NOT SLEEP.
During the morning our body
temperature is low too, which creates feelings of drowsiness
and tiredness, however, most of us chose to mask this feeling
by consuming large amounts of caffeine. The other main temperature
drops happen in the afternoon, and in the mid-evening.
In the Powerful Sleep system
I describe the EXACT methods to gain a full understanding of
your body temperature rhythm, so you can create a quick RISE
of body temperature in the morning, and delay the body temperature
drop in the evening. This allows you to stay awake and ALERT
longer, have more energy and MORE TIME (time is a precious commodity!)
