For those of you who read this blog or train at CFB you know there are three main pillars in the fitness tripod; exercise, nutrition and sleep.  It is also fairly common knowledge that sleep is the most often neglected of the three.  Most people are pretty good about getting into the gym everyday and while you may have the occasional cheat day, you try to eat clean during the week.  Sleep on the other hand, that’s the one thing you seem to put on the back burner.  Maybe at night you want to stay up just a little longer with a friend or watching TV, it’s an easy thing to push back and what’s the big deal?  You can always have an extra coffee or two in the morning.

The fact is, proper sleep habits are just as important as exercise and nutrition.  Sleep keeps your brain running smoothly and your brain controls every system in your body.  When the brain is unhappy, so is the body.  Good, regular sleep is critical to proper brain function.  Lucky for you, the government of the good ol’ U.S.A. has seen fit to provide you with one extra hour of sleep.  Think of the roll back to standard time as an opportunity to go to bed an hour early.  This is a great opportunity to make a positive change in your sleep habits, get on it and start feeling better.  I promise you, that FB status update isn’t really that important, turn off the computer and turn off your brain.  It’s nighty nite time!
