HOW SLEEP AND WEIGHT LOSS ARE RELATED?

There is a surprising connection between sleep and weight loss. Many people don't even consider this, instead focusing only on pursuing a healthier diet, getting plenty of exercise, and addressing bad habits. While all of these factors are obviously important for those who want to achieve a more wholesome lifestyle, it's impossible to reach your full potential unless you prioritize proper sleeping patterns as well.

Unfortunately, getting enough sleep is much easier said than done. Many people struggle with a wide range of disorders and issues that prevent them from getting any rest at night, including excessive snoring, bruxism, and TMJ disorder. So how do you address these problems and get some much-needed sleep?

The answer might be a lot simpler than you think. All you need to do is browse CustMbite's website and choose the nightguard that fits your needs. When you receive your mouthguard, you can mold it to the shape of your mouth for a personalized fit. The only thing left to do is to drift off to sleep!

WHAT'S THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SLEEP AND WEIGHT LOSS?

Before we mention CustMbite's many solutions to these problems, let's explore the connection between sleep and weight loss in a little more detail. In plain terms, inadequate sleep makes you more hungry. This makes sense, as the body recharges itself during sleep. If you don't give yourself enough time to recharge, you're going to need something that provides that missing energy – namely food.

In addition, there is evidence that suggests inadequate sleep could affect your brain in a negative manner by lowering your inhibitions and your ability to control cravings. Another important thing to remember is that your muscles repair themselves during sleep. This means that if you don't get enough sleep, you're not going to build muscle at a fast rate. Finally, logic tells us that if you're awake for longer periods of time, you're probably going to spend more time eating.

HOW TO MAINTAIN A BETTER BALANCE BETWEEN SLEEP AND WEIGHT LOSS

The first step is to identify what's causing you to lose sleep. You might want to book an appointment with a sleep medicine expert or a dentist, as they can help you find the problem. For example, your partner might be keeping you awake due to loud snoring. Or perhaps you're snoring and waking yourself up at night as a result. If you find yourself in this situation, you need to reach for a snoring mouthguard, such as the CustMbite Snore Relief Mouthpiece.

But a word to the wise: Most snoring mouthguards these days move your jaw into awkward positions, making it impossible to fall asleep. This is why you should consider the CustMbite Snore Relief Mouthpiece, as this oral appliance features tori that guide your tongue away from the airway for clear breathing and reduced snoring. True dental experts understand the tongue is the real cause of snoring.

On the other hand, you might be struggling to fall asleep due to bruxism or TMJ disorder. Bruxism is just the technical term for teeth grinding, and this can cause pain, discomfort, headaches, and even a dislocated jaw. To address this problem, you need to grab a mouthguard such as the CustMbite Hard Surface Mouthguard. This clever device features a hard surface layer that protects your teeth while allowing your jaw to move freely in a comfortable manner. Another solid choice is the CustMbite Nightguard, which features the same Vistamaxx material and snug flexibility as other CustMbite products.
