| A lot of people feel "tired", and blame it on getting | | | | feet running |
| not | | | | around pumping gas for 8-9 hours with one 10 |
| enough sleep, or other external factors. Basically, | | | | minute break. |
| the | | | | It was hell! Even when I had the early morning |
| fact that they're tired is always "out of control." | | | | shift I |
| What | | | | would come home and feel TOTALLY DRAINED |
| they don't know is that there's a reason for | | | | and TIRED, I |
| feeling | | | | usually fell asleep and slept till the |
| "tired", and that there's a simple method to | | | | evening.However, as I began learning the inner |
| change "tired" | | | | science of our sleep |
| to "energized" in a heartbeat....Most of us feel | | | | system and the inner sleep clock, I tried a little |
| tired during one of the four: 1) After | | | | experiment one day. Instead of going to sleep I |
| waking up in the morning. 2) After intense | | | | came home |
| physical | | | | and played fetch with my dog out in the yard |
| activity, or long hours of work. 3) After sitting in | | | | for about 45 |
| one | | | | minutes instead. To my surprise, after just a |
| place for a long period of time. 4) During the | | | | few minutes |
| evening, or | | | | of a little light activity (throwing a plastic chewed |
| in the late evening hours.What do all four of | | | | up |
| those have in common? There's one very | | | | Frisbee across the backyard), the feeling of |
| common process that happens in our bodies in all | | | | tiredness |
| four | | | | faded and I was able to stay awake and alert |
| cases. During all of these we all experience very | | | | WAY into the |
| similar"symptoms" of tiredness. These include | | | | early morning hours.How did this work?I simply |
| yawning, | | | | allowed my body temperature some time to |
| rubbing our eyes, feeling sllooowww, and having | | | | return |
| the urge to | | | | back to the normal pattern it proceeds. I gave it |
| just get into bed and sleep.Why Do We Get | | | | time to |
| These "symptoms?" Our bodies have a natural | | | | "come down." When it returned back to normal, I |
| temperature rhythm. Our body temperature | | | | didn't feel |
| rises when we are | | | | tired and the intense pressure to sleep faded. |
| awake, and promotes feelings of alertness. Our | | | | This same |
| body | | | | body temperature drop happens after you sit in |
| temperature also falls when we're sleeping, and | | | | one place |
| promotes | | | | for a long time. Listen, you could take a person |
| feelings of drowsiness, and a desire to sleep.The | | | | who is |
| natural DROP of body temperature in our bodies | | | | robust, athletic, and naturally energetic, but if you |
| is a CUE | | | | put |
| for our body to produce feelings of tiredness, | | | | them in front of a TV for 3 hours, THEY WILL |
| drowsiness, | | | | GET TIRED! |
| and the strong urge to sleep. I call this the | | | | This is simply because our body temperature |
| "natural | | | | drops when |
| sleep response". When we're exercising, or | | | | we're NOT MOVING.That's why the biggest |
| putting | | | | antidote to feeling tired is |
| excessive physical demand on our body, our | | | | exercise and movement, NOT SLEEP.During the |
| body temperature | | | | morning our body temperature is low too, which |
| RISES rapidly, however when you END the | | | | creates feelings of drowsiness and tiredness, |
| physical activity, | | | | however, most |
| there is a RAPID body temperature DROP until | | | | of us chose to mask this feeling by consuming |
| your body | | | | large amounts |
| temperature regulates sometime after. It's during | | | | of caffeine. The other main temperature drops |
| this DROP | | | | happen in the |
| that most of us think there's no other way out | | | | afternoon, and in the mid-evening.In the Powerful |
| but to | | | | Sleep system I describe the EXACT methods |
| sleep, and we usually jump into bed and do just | | | | to gain a full understanding of your body |
| that.The feeling of the body temperature drop | | | | temperature |
| after long hours | | | | rhythm, so you can create a quick RISE of body |
| of work is usually mistaken by us as a deep | | | | temperature |
| need for sleep. | | | | in the morning, and delay the body temperature |
| In reality, we don't need to sleep, we just need | | | | drop in the |
| to "cool | | | | evening. This allows you to stay awake and |
| down". Allow me to give you a personal | | | | ALERT longer, |
| example:As a kid I used to work at a FULL | | | | have more energy and MORE TIME (time is a |
| SERVE gas station for 8-9 | | | | precious |
| hours in a row. This meant I had to be on my | | | | commodity! |
