Master Your “Body Clock” to Eat, Sleep, and Work More Efficiently.

Want to maximize your health and productivity? Here are the best times to eat, sleep, work, exercise – and do everything else.

6AM – 9AM

• When you wake in the morning your metabolism is slow. Your blood vessels are constricted after sleeping.
• Having cold shower in morning can help “shock” your body awake, it will increase your alertness and fight away that drowsiness.
• At this time exercise actually increases your blood pressure, so it is best not to do any heavy exercise. This is the time of the day when most heart attacks occur.
• If you’re watching your weight it’s best to step on the scales first thing in the morning – before you have had anything to eat or drink.

9AM – 12PM

• This is the time of your mental peak. Your concentration, memory, focus and creativity should be best at this time of the day. This is a good time to work on a math problem, to write, to compose music.
• Use this period to do that work that needs your best thinking, rather than using it for other tasks.
• This is also the best time to go for a job interview. You will be at your sharpest, while interviewers are less likely to be tired and will be easier to engage.
• Balance and muscle control are best at this time in the morning.

12 NOON – 2PM

This is the time of day when you want to have your biggest meal, because your body will be able to transform the food you give it into fuel and energy more easily than any other time.

2PM TO 3PM

• Most of us have an energy dip after lunch when the body’s metabolism slows right down.
• Drinking caffeine-rich coffee may be all it takes to get us through this slowdown.

3PM TO 4PM

• It may not go down well with the boss but the best time for a nap is usually mid-afternoon. That’s because naps taken during this time are less likely to interfere with night-time sleep.
• For a quick boost of alertness, experts say a 10-to-20-minute power nap is adequate for getting back to work in a pinch.

4PM – 7PM

• This is the best time for exercise. Athletes can get up to 10% better times and performance during this period of the day.
• 5pm is when most of us reach our the highest cardiovascular strength and 5.30pm is when grip strength is at its best (which could mean the optimum time for a weights workout).
• Blood vessels are most dilated, body temperature is highest, the lungs are working at maximum efficiency.
• Your body is most flexible during this time of the day, and the fewest heart attacks are recorded at this time of the day.

7PM – 9PM

• Eat dinner early and keep it small, and avoid overly fatty and spicy foods, as this will impact your sleep. Eating late when the liver is shutting down could lead to the risk of fat gain.
• A warm shower or, better yet, a bath during this time will help relax and relieve stress.

10PM – 12 MIDNIGHT

• Most people go to bed in this time slot. Your sleep hormone kicks in, body temperature drops down.
• This stage is delayed for the ‘night owls’. If you find you are not able to get to sleep until late at night, then get more sunlight during the day, especially in the morning.

12 MIDNIGHT – 3AM

• It is during this period that you will enter into deep sleep. If you have not gone to bed by this time, you should feel tired.
• This is also the worst time to drive.

3AM – 6AM

• This is the low time of your metabolism, with 4 am usually being the lowest point.
• At this time most people have the lowest blood pressure, skin is repaired during this time.
• This is also the time when most natural births occur.

A Letter From A Mother To Her Son - Funny Story

Dear Child,

I am writing this slow because I know that you can't read fast.

We don't live where we did when you left home.

Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home so we moved.

I won't be able to send you the address, as the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they left so that they wouldn't have to change their address.

This place is real nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure if it works too well though.

Last week I put a load in, pulled the chain, and haven't seen them since.

The weather isn't too bad here., it only rained twice last week, The first time it rained for three days and the second time for four days. The coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Steve said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. We got another bill from the funeral home.

They said if we don't make the last payment on Grandma's grave, up she comes. John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were worried because it took him two hours to get me and Shelby out.

Your sister had a baby this morning but I haven't found out what it is yet, so I don't know if you're an aunt or an uncle. If the baby is a girl, your sister is going to name it after me, she's going to call it Mom.

Uncle Pete fell in a whiskey vat last week. Some man tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated and he burned for three days.

Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pick-up truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down.

There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened.

PS, I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed.
