eat to sleep : FOODS / DRINKS

last couple of posts must have helped you to keep your energy levels a bit high...

if you have been following the routine, you are on track...

now to keep up the momentum, here a few foods/drinks which will ensure uninterrupted sleep every night and ramp up your energy levels the next day....


1. dark chocolate
2. warm milk                                          
3. almonds
4. hard cooked eggs
5. GREEN TEA
6. 250 ml Red Wine :) : thats the limit...

GREEN TEA : a must take post dinner, it helps in quick digestion, reduce the burning sensation in your throat after a nice butter chicken or kashmiri rajma...helps in a deep sleep too...

without going into the reasoning of above...try these / couple of these for a few weeks and see the difference..."The post have been kept short to ensure you focus on action"

P.S. i repeat " Green tea a must"...

sleep : a strategic affair...

heard about a business plan a couple of hours back...costs, resources, marketing, assets, money, time, investments, people...everything required to make a product/business work...




a similar kind of plan can do wonders if you have sleep in mind...

plan a day in advance your sleep patterns for a week, it might be difficult, with too much to care, but after all its about your health...

it takes a 15 min sitting to plan a week's sleep...

ok lets take a hypothetical situation...

on a sunday  evening : when the heart says (damn its monday again)...you feel like it was friday again...now try a pen and paper and start writing...

1. monday: early morning workout at 5:30 am...coz probably you have slept enough on the weekend...after the daily grind, try a warm bath...have a cup of curd/butter milk...take a light dinner...a green tea minus sugar is mandatory post dinner...hit the bed early at 10 pm...

2. tuesday: wake up at 6 am...and workout...rest of the schedule remains the same.hit the bed at 10 pm...

3. wednesday: wakeup at 5 am...workout and green tea post workout...after the daily grind...a warm bath...dinner..green tea...finish off your pending work...today you can afford to sleep between 11-12pm...the prize : afford to wake up late  the next day :)

4. thursday: wake up at 7:30 am...very little workout (stretching/walk/skipping)...rest of the schedule remains the same...post dinner try to sleep between 10-11...coz next day is the workout day...

5. Friday: wake up at 5 am...heavy workout...rest of the schedule remains the same...post dinner hit the bed around 10 pm... (NOTE: try to have dinner between 7:30 - 8 pm)

6. Saturday(those who have 6 days of grinding): wake up at 5am...heavy workout...rest of the schedule remains the same...sleep late..say around 12...to catch on the latest movie/finish off your work...

7. Sunday : shout "get lost" i am not waking up...complete your sleep and feel fresh..


Calculations : Min hours of sleep required daily - 7-8 hrs...
Total no. of hours slept till sunday = 53

Avg sleep per day = 7.57 hrs :)...BINGO....

"wake up kid..."

at what time u woke up today...don't be a kid...i am talking about the morning...i woke up at 5:30 am...

well over a next few days or may be weeks we shall be focusing on "Sleep" as a part of your health...

a good sleep can be helpful in focus, immunity, performance...mmmm...get off the bed first...

now here is the catch : "workout or to sleep"..."sleep late and finish off the pending work or else hit the bed early"..."late night party or to doze off on time"...its a puzzle..even i am confused...

no work, only sleep makes you a dull boy...

well as you are reading this in the mid of the day...i would recommend to try and sleep on time today...atleast for today...give it a shot...

here are the tricks : try it for today...

1. go for a 30 mins brisk walk at 8:30 pm (specific time given to be disciplined) : this will make you tired and allow a sound sleep...just try

2. drink green tea or in that case warm water with a 1/2 tbps of honey : this shall help in dinner digestion...

3. take deep-deep breath while lying on bed...focus and just do it for today...

try these simple tricks just today...for god's sake...just today...and see the difference...

P.S. stop looking for grammar correction..and worry about your health...it shall benefit you...and after today...follow the above steps "DAILY"... :P

to begin with...

i woke up at 5 am...

its almost like winning a war...its difficult, tough, and in winters its tougher...

wake up...don't be a lazy ass...just wake...its all about the initial 10 secs...as soon as the alarm bell rings...count to 10...and its done...



morning people virtually have more hours in a day...period...




so the very first step in achieving health : wake up just wake up "EARLY"

though the war has just begun...
