Most women dread bingo wings. Nothing is more unsightly than an arm that keeps on waving after you’ve stopped.

And if poor sleep is commonplace for you, reducing bingo wings can be virtually impossible because poor sleep has metabolic and hormonal effects that make arm fat loss very difficult for the female body.

In fact, poor sleep alone has the ability to completely thwart your sexy arm journey.

So here are some sleep tips to help you get rid of those bingo wings:

1. Get some light. Not just any light will do here. I recommend getting a light box which will produce very high intensity light. There are many companies that sell said lights. Use it in the morning for 30-60 minutes. You’ll notice an increase in energy and a sense of hyperness. And you’ll sleep much better.

2. Chronotherapy. If you’re going to sleep extremely late and you find it impossible to wake up early, then you’re better off rotating forward. Sleep three hours later every day until you hit the right time. Then force yourself to wake up at the same time every day or else you’ll keep going forward.

3. Make yourself a little hungry. Adjust your meals so that by the end of the day you are slightly hungry. Creating a slight deficit will help your metabolism slow down which will translate into less time awake in bed and deeper sleep. This will also help you get rid of bingo wings a lot quicker.

4. Consider a standing desk. Being sedentary slows down the buildup of a sleep chemical in your brain and also keeps your body temperature lower. Both of which translate into poor sleep. So consider getting a standing desk. You could start off by using the standing desk for half the day and then sit down for the other half. Experiment and slowly increase time standing.

Learning how to sleep is a necessary step if you’re serious about getting rid of bingo wings. And in this day and age few women actually get the sleep they need. So follow the tips in this article and you’ll be well on your way to bingo wing freedom.
