Two Simple Strategies For a More Productive Day
1) Get sufficient sleep the night before. To function at peak capacity, most adults need 7-9 hours of deep sleep; that means sleeping all through the night without interruption. Here are a few tips to help you achieve deep sleep:
- Eat last meal no later than 9pm
- No sweets or alcohol with last meal
- Avoid caffeine and stimulants after 2pm
- Ensure that bedroom is pitch black, the slightest bit of light can inhibit deep sleep
- Make sure all electronic devices are off and at least 4 feet away from bed
2) Eat a high protein, grain-free breakfast. A high-protein, low-carb, grain-free breakfast is the best way to maximize energy. Here is a sample breakfast (what I ate this morning):
- Ground Bison Patty (6-8 oz), pan fried in organic butter
- Raw Pecans, 1 handful
- Organic Blueberries, 1/3 cup
