How to Burn Fat Overnight

Engage with your circadian rhythms and lose weight while you sleep.

Everyone knows that weight loss is about what you eat and what you don’t eat. But there’s another critical element to consider. Losing weight is also about aligning your eating and sleeping habits with your internal biological clock. Find out how to set this clock to maximum fat-burning mode.

Located within the suprachiasmatic nucleus region of the hypothalamus, this biological clock is mysterious, and more than a little otherworldly. It responds to the rising and setting of the sun so that your patterns of sleep and wakefulness match the rotation of the Earth about its axis.

Your metabolic rate falls by around 15 per cent during sleep. If you think about it, this is a surprisingly small reduction for such apparent inertia. But don’t be deceived; as you slumber, blissfully unaware of the workings of your autonomic nervous system, your body is busy carrying out innumerable repairs and metabolic processes, and your brain is burning fuel furiously.

As you sleep, your body clock orchestrates the secretion of important metabolic hormones that influence the way you gain and lose weight. These hormones — which include growth hormone, insulin, ghrelin and leptin — are produced in a cyclical manner. Obey your biology, as outlined in the following three steps, and you’ll find that losing weight is much easier when you work with your body, not against it.
