We live in a sleep deprived society. Studies have shown that on average you are probably getting about one hour less of sleep compared to your parents. And if you want to get rid of flabby arms, sleep is critical.

The bad news is that a lack of sleep reduces your chances of getting toned arms through a wide variety of different mechanisms. A lack of sleep, for example, reduces testosterone. A key hormone for burning arm fat.

More importantly, no sleep translates into a poor mood. In other words, you mind will make mole hills seem like mountains.

Thus, here are five tips on how to get rid of flabby arms with sleep optimization:

1. Stay in the dark. Light is the most powerful zeitgeber. In other words, is the strongest signal your body uses to establish regular wake and sleep cycles. If there is any light hitting your eyes before you want to wake up, your quality of sleep will deteriorate.

2. Use your mind. Challenging your mind during the day will break down a lot of ATP. And breaking down ATP will help you sleep much better at night.

3. Try not to sleep in. The occasional sleep in won’t do much harm. But be careful. You see, if you sleep in more than once you run the risk of disrupting your regular sleeping patterns. And this will make getting rid of flabby arms very difficult.

4. Test your debt. Every woman has a sleep debt. Without one, nobody would be able to fall asleep. The difference between women is the magnitude of said debt. So do something monotonous. If you get tired, you debt is too big.

5. Avoid acute increases in stress. If you have a huge stressor during the day, the stress pathways in your brain can remain overactive at night. Thus, you will have poor sleep.

If you really want to get rid of those flabby arms I strongly suggest that you treat your sleep as sacred. If you are consistently sleep deprived, it will be extremely hard to get lean and sexy arms. So please do not subject yourself to sleep deprivation!
