Sleeping Eight Hours A Day

Since December last year, we focused on new habits. One of them is turning off the light when sleeping and the most important of all, sleeping early {around eight in the evening and around nine thirty for a late evening}. I added some new steps on this like drinking at least one glass of water before heading to bed.

Lately however, it is very difficult to sleep. I noticed this when things gets excited at the office. Like news on my job prospects and other things that I have to do for the transition in case my applications passes through the search committee.

One culprit that I also consider is the trip to Cebu on a weekend. It left my body clock in chaos and currently adjusting back to normal schedule.

Another issue I guess is the eating habits. We have been eating rice at dinner and I am gaining weight. It has been stressing me out.

Do you eat rice? I hope it is brown rice because between white rice and brown rice, the latter is the nutritious one. An article says brown rice has more fiber and nutrients and minerals such as selenium that lowers the risk of colon cancer. And of course, the fibers helps in the digestion and keeps you trim and healthy. Provided though that you keep also a healthy lifestyle : no smoking, occasional drinking and lot of sleep & exercise.
