December Sleep/Weight Loss Results

The results are in! Last month I decided to do a little weight loss experiment of my own.  I decided to take Advil PM every night for a month and find out if better sleep actually promoted weight loss.

I did all other things the same and I ended up losing right at 6 pounds!  Success!

What I learned:

I had in no way been getting enough sleep before.

The sleep I was getting was disturbed and broken.

I feel SO much better after a good night’s sleep.

I am more motivated to get up and going in the morning after sleeping well at night.

I’m going to continue to take the Advil PM.  I was already taking advil for my arthritis, so instead of taking it during the day, I’ll just take it at night with the PM formula.

I’ll keep you guys posted on the weight loss thing, but honestly that’s secondary to how good I feel after a full night’s sleep!
