I thank my lucky stars that I’m a good sleeper (my only sleep disturbances can be traced back to this one and her penchant for clawing at drywall).
If you have fitful sleep, however, it may be time to give tart cherry juice a try. Now there’s more evidence (remember this past post?) that the bevvie can help you sleep better: a study published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that two glasses of the tart juice helped people sleep 39 more minutes and experienced 6 percent greater sleep efficiency (ie. the ratio of time in bed sleeping versus awake) when compared to people who drank a cherry fruit cocktail.
Now go get those zzz’s. (Tonight, that is; not right now at the office!)

Tossed and turned all night and feeling sleepy? Your doziness may be limiting your brain’s capacity to control against indulging in high-cal, crave-worthy foods when you see them according to research presented at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies. Hence the sugary danish you opted for at breakfast while picking up your coffee and the poutine you grabbed on a whim at lunch hour when walking through the mall.

According to a new study from Appalachian State University, the best time to work out is in the morning — if your goal is to have a better night’s sleep. Subjects who exercised at 7AM experienced more time in light and deep sleep compared to those who worked up a sweat at 1PM and 7PM.
