Staying Awake

Saturday, August 30, 2008

How do you get up in the morning? Do you awaken energetic and refreshed, with a clear mind ready to get started on your day? If you do, consider yourself lucky - studies are showing that having difficulty awakening properly in the morning is one of the most common sleep complaints in the world. Grogginess and a powerful urge to roll back over and go back to sleep are strong indicators that you aren't awakening in the recharged, refreshed state that you should be.

Difficulty waking up is often caused by not getting enough sleep - adults need to get between 6 and 8 hours, and teenagers can need up as many as 10 hours. The most common reason, however, is poor quality sleep. Just because you're sleeping doesn't mean it's restful, rejuvenating sleep.

Unfortunately, those who have a difficult time awakening refreshed are subject to several problems. Consequences include being more likely to develop certain diseases including obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease, as well as increased production of stress hormones.

Waking up groggy also increases the chance that you are going to be in a rush in the morning, and that also brings further problems. Thoae who hurry in the morning are most likely to skip breakfast, an important meal that helps to give you energy from the rest of the day. Morning rushers are also more likely to hurt their backs - as fluid accumulates in your spinal chord while your sleep, jumping and running before it has had adequate time to drain puts strain on the back.

If you don't think you're getting the restful sleep you should be, one solution may be to drink GoChi Juice. Recent clinical studies performed on individuals showed that GoChi Juice provided better quality sleep and enabled them awake feeling more rested and refreshed after only 14 days of use.
