Millions of Americans suffer from sleepless nights. According to a 2011Sleep in Americapoll, 63% of Americans say their sleep requirements aren't met—particularly during the week—and that this negatively impacts their mood, family life, home responsibilities and social life.
A good night’s sleep, on the other hand, ispositively associatedwith improved memory, learning, immune function and metabolism. Here are several ideas to help the sleep-deprived become the sleep-satisfied.
Charles Czeisler MD, from theHarvard Medical SchoolSleep Programexplains that daytime artificial lightingslows the release of melatonin—the sleep-promoting hormone, and it "shifts circadian rhythms to a later hour—making it more difficult to fall asleep." Circadian rhythm is the 24-hour sleep/wake cycle. Suggestions include minimizing exposure to artificial light before bed (TV, cells, computers etc.) and not sleeping with lights or TV on.
Here are some tips from experts to help you get to sleep:
Allison Harvey, PhD, sleep expert atUC Berkleysays, "Take a look at your bedtime habits. Create a relaxing wind-down routine and turn down the lights."
Set a sleep schedule. Go to bed and wake up at the same times each day.
Expose yourself to bright light in the morning and avoid it at night. Dim your lights when it's close to bedtime.
Create a cool, comfortable sleep environment. If you're finding that entertainment or work-related communications are creating anxiety, remove these distractions well before bedtime.
Keep a "worry book" next to your bed. If you wake up because of concerns or worries, write them down, then let them go until morning.

Growth Hormone (GH or HGH) is a key hormone that helps us build muscle and burn fat.
Your muscles are made of cells that have been fused together into muscle fibers. And on the outside of these fibers are things called satellite cells.
When you work out you damage cells in the muscle fibers. To fix this, your body releases Growth Hormone, Growth Factors (other hormones) and Testosterone. These tell the satellite cells to start replicating to both repair and replace damaged cells in the muscle, and also to add more cells, increasing the muscle fibers in size.

If your cells are taking in less sugar because they’re resisting insulin knocking at their door to let in sugar, then the cells have less energy to work with.
That sugar is there, and insulin is happily converting it to fat, but your cells aren’t getting it so of course they’re hungry and will keep telling you to eat more until they finally get some.
