Default Sleep Apnea/Metabolic Repair Helping

Leigh,

Thanks for your help. Since starting the mebabolic repair 2 weeks ago I am already feeling less exhausted and less body aches. I don't wake up as tired in the mornings either. So I am thinking that my over training was a big part of the problem. Thank you so much for putting all the Fat Loss Troubleshoot books together. Finally I feel that I am on the right track to staying fit and healthy without exhaustion.

Of hand my recommendation for someone dealing with this, or insomina in general would be...

-Make sure you have a healthy breathing environment in the first place. You be surprised how much this changes things.
-Take part in a daily, best if twice daily routine to stretch and increase mobility and decrease body tension.
-Lost fat if overweight
-Don't eat before bed
-Time carbohydrates early in the day and around training
-Don't overtrain, ever.
-Sleep slightly elevated
-Use a humidifier in your bedroom
-Keep inflammation down in general
-Use Melatonin pre-bed
-Practice good pre-sleep habits (only use bed for sleep or sex, no tv, no lights, etc.)
