15 What s Keeping You Up At Night?

16 What s Keeping You Awake In research from Statistics Canada: Almost half of Canadians say they cut back on their sleep when they need more time, roughly by 12 minutes. In a survey conducted by Tylenol Nighttime Sleep Centre: 1 in 4 Canadians call in sick to catch up on sleep. 6 in 10 Canadians say they feel tired most of the time. 31% reported that temperature impacted quality of sleep. 46% reported that pain impacted quality of sleep. 29% reported that work stress impacted quality of sleep.

17 Signs That Sleep Disruption Is Caused By Stress 1) Difficulty falling off to sleep because of 'mind chatter' 2) Awakening between 2-4am (adrenal fatigue) 3) Early morning sudden awakening with heart racing/pounding

26 The Science Behind Intermittent Fasting Research by Skidmore College exercise scientist Paul Arciero has found: That a balanced, protein-pacing, low-calorie diet that includes intermittent fasting not only achieves long-term weight loss, but also helps release toxins in the form of PCBs from the body fat stores, in addition to enhancing heart health and reducing oxidative stress. Your human growth hormone increases by 1000% with a day of fasting. Source: Science Daily, January 11, 2017

41 What s In Your Head? Each person has an average of 60,000 thoughts a day! That s one thought per second in every waking hour! Amazingly, 95 percent are the same thoughts repeated every day. On average, 80 percent of those habitual thoughts are negative. This served us well in fact, it was critical for survival when we were foraging for food centuries ago, paying close attention to anything that might place us in danger, like a saber-toothed tiger. We even have a name for this type of thinking negativity bias and it s not a great prescription for happiness.

42 Negativity Bias Also known as the negativity effect, refers to the notion that, even when of equal intensity, things of a more negative nature have a greater effect on one's psychological state and processes than do neutral or positive things. In other words, something very positive will generally have less of an impact on a person's behavior and cognition than something equally emotional but negative. The negativity bias has been investigated within many different domains, including the formation of impressions and general evaluations; attention, learning, and memory; and decision-making and risk considerations.
