How to Become a Morning Person (Part II)

In yesterday’s post, I provided 3 awesome tips for waking up each morning refreshed and energized:

1. Eat a healthy, low fat raw vegan diet
2. Stop using an alarm clock
3. Finish your last meal at least 2 hours before bedtime

There was one important point that I forgot to address for becoming a morning person.  This one may actually be the most important tip of all…

Get Enough Sleep!

I know many raw foodists claim that eating raw means you get to sleep less and less and less, sometimes no more 5 hours a night.

NO, NO, NO!

This is one health and wellness area where mainstream medicine and media have got it right.  The average human – I
don’t care if you eat burgers and fries all day or live on sunshine and moonbeams – needs at least 8 hours of sleep
every night.

In fact, you may find that you need MORE sleep since going raw!  Many people discover that they are able to be (and actually want to be) more active and, as a result, need to sleep more.

But there’s no reason to rely on a number to tell you how much sleep you need.  As long as you are waking up naturally feeling ready to go – you did get rid of that retched alarm clock, didn’t you? – you are getting enough sleep.

Some days you may need more, some days you may need less.  Let your body be your guide!

Go raw and be fit,
