For example, when fatigue sets in from latenight activity, there is less desire to engage in exercise the next day, an essential element of weight control. Lack of sleep also affects the way the body processes and stores food and alters hormones that affect the appetite. “Physiologically, when a body is not rested, it kicks into survival mode,” he says. “Stress hormones are generated, resulting in less production of appetite-suppressing leptin. Instead, more ghrelin, which stimulates appetite, is generated.” In addition, Dr. Nick notes, there is a suspected association with insulin, which has an impact on food going into storage in the body. The importance of sleep cannot be overestimated. More than just resulting in fatigue and affecting daily activities, lack of sleep can impact the immune system, memory recall, hypertension, and other serious problems. “I don’t believe everyone needs seven hours or another specific number, but I do believe in adequate sleep. It fits into the larger category of being responsive to what the body needs,” Dr. Nick says. “Part of the evidence of the restorative nature of sleep points out that when we are ill, we need more of it, and not less or the same.” To improve your success for a restful night, consider the following: Valley Youth Capture First-Place Win at Basketball Tournament The third-grade boys basketball team from Ogden Valley captured the Baty’s Third Grade Tournament held at the Weber County Fairgrounds on Saturday, February 20.

Sixth Grade Valentine Dance • Aim to exercise at least twenty to thirty minutes each day and no later than three hours before bedtime. • When tired enough to seek coffee and energy drinks, take a short, half-hour nap instead. • Go to bed and get up at about the same time every day, even on weekends. • Keep bedrooms cool, dark, quiet, and comfortable. Consider a sound machine or small fan for white noise and an eye mask to block out light. • Follow a relaxing bedtime routine, such as reading a book, engaging in light stretching, or taking a bath.
