5 questions about sleep slimming method: follow the 3.3.7 principle, sleep and lose weight!

 Have you tried the lazy weight loss method that is full of tricks in the market, but still can't lose weight? 

Don’t forget, apart from eating, working, and exercising, we spend nearly one-third of our time in our sleep every day. Keiko Sato, a weight loss clinician who has helped more than 30,000 people lose weight, tells you that as long as you sleep well, you can lose weight!

Q1: Why can I lose weight when I sleep?
A1: Dr. Sato pointed out that if you can "fall asleep in the right way", your body will enter a "wasting mode". The key is that sleeping well can promote the secretion of growth hormones in the body. Growth hormones can break down 300 calories of fat a day. It also helps to eliminate fatigue and repair body functions. It is equivalent to sleeping well to lose weight and resist aging!

Q2: What is the "3.3.7 Principle"?
A2: "3.3.7 Principle" refers to:
(1) "3", enter deep sleep at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night.
3 o'clock in the middle of the night is a time when people of all types are easy to fall asleep. In addition, 10 o'clock in the evening to 3 o'clock in the middle of the night is the time when the growth hormone secretion is strongest, and you can just go to bed before 3 o'clock in the night.
(2) "3" means 3 hours of complete sleep after going to bed.
A large amount of growth hormone will be secreted within 3 hours after falling asleep, and there will be almost no secretion during the following sleep time, and sleep will gradually become lighter and wake up, so you must have about 3 hours of quality sleep after falling asleep!
(3) "7" means 7 hours of sleep a day.
Dr. Sato pointed out that correct sleep can consume 300 calories a day. If you sleep incorrectly, it is equivalent to 1 kilogram a month! A study by Columbia University in the United States showed that compared with those who slept for 7 hours, the obesity rate of those who slept for 5 hours was 52% higher, and that of those who slept for 4 hours was even 73% higher.
Therefore, if you want to use the power of sleep to lose weight easily, you must follow the "3.3.7 Principle"!

Q3: When should I get up and when should I fall asleep?
A3: Dr. Sato believes that sunlight will help the body reset its biological clock. After waking up in the morning and bathing in sunlight for 14 to 16 hours, the body will naturally prepare to fall asleep . If you want to go to bed at around 12 o'clock in the evening, you have to get up at 10 o'clock in the morning at the latest to have the best sleep quality at night.

Q4: Is sleep slimming applicable to any age group?
A4: Applicable from adulthood to around 50 years old! Because infants and young children have not developed regular sleep habits, the time of deep sleep during adolescence is longer, and individual sleep habits will not reach maturity until around 30 years old. In addition, after the age of 50, the sleep preparation period is longer, it is easy to wake up, and it is not easy to fall asleep, and it is less suitable for sleep slimming.

Q5: What should I do if I sleep for less than 7 hours?
A5: Dr. Sato suggested that an "energy nap" for about 20 minutes is the best way to replenish sleep. Sleeping for 20 minutes can recharge the body and avoid drowsiness after a deep sleep. Since the sleep preparation period is prolonged after the age of 50, the nap time can be prolonged to within 30 minutes, and it is reasonable to adjust the sleep mode with age!
