Wouldn’t it be nice if we could lose weight without hitting the gym? Well there may be a way for us to do just that. According to an article in Glamour Magazine, it is possible to take off excess weight simply by getting the right amount of sleep at night. The target amount seems to be betweeen 7 ½ and 8 hours. Too much or too little will leave that extra fat right where it is and actually add to it.

A recent study, reported in “New Scientist,” seems to prove what your mother has always told you. Getting 8 hours of sleep a night is good for you. Furthermore, it can improve your waistline and your overall health.

If you find yourself tossing and turning, or waking up stiff and sore, chances are you need to check into getting a new mattress. Our sleep experts at the Green Frog are happy to help you.

So make the time to get plenty of shuteye on a comfortable, supportive mattress. Your body will thank you!
