CHANGE YOUR LIFE NOW

FOUR CHANGES IN YOUR DAILY SCHEDULE THAT COULD DRAMATICALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE:

According to several new studies, timing is crucial when it comes to your day-to-day routine. In other words, WHEN you do things can be just as important as HOW you do them. Here are four schedule changes that could have a big impact on your life . . .

#1.) GO TO THE GYM BEFORE WORK. It's easier to hit the snooze button than it is to hit the gym. But new research shows that people who put off their workout until AFTER work are much less likely to exercise consistently. Plus, when you go to the gym in the MORNING, it wakes up your brain and helps you focus.

#2.) DON'T DRINK AFTER 7:00 P.M. Drinking right before bed can leave you with more than a hangover. It can seriously screw up the quality of your sleep. In one recent study where researchers gave alcohol to hamsters, it gave them poor sleep patterns, and made them sluggish for 24 hours after their last drink.

#3.) EAT DINNER BEFORE 8:00 P.M. A study by Northwestern University showed that late dinners can make you gain up to twice as much weight as normal. And just like with drinking, if you eat late at night, your body has to work overtime to process it, which affects your sleep.

#4.) BRAINSTORM AT 10:00 P.M. According to a survey of 1,500 people, 10 p.m. is when the average person feels the most creative. On the flip side, the WORST time to be creative is 4:30 p.m., when you're exhausted from work, and your blood sugar is low. (Cosmopolitan.com)
