#957 How To Double Your Fat Burn In 7 Days - Optimize Sleep Routine For Metabolism with Ben Azadi

19 min • 28 februari 2025

Did you know that poor sleep can stall fat loss—no matter how perfect your diet and workouts are?


Why Sleep is the Master Switch for Metabolism:

  • sleep is more important than diet and exercise when it comes to metabolic health.
  • Think of your metabolism as a symphony—sleep is the conductor. Without it, everything falls apart.


4 Ways Poor Sleep Wrecks Your Fat-Burning Ability


1️⃣ Increases Blood Sugar & Insulin Resistance

  • After just one week of poor sleep, blood sugar levels mimic prediabetes.
  • Hunger hormones (ghrelin & leptin) go out of whack, leading to overeating.

2️⃣ Slows Down Metabolism

  • Poor sleep lowers resting metabolic rate (RMR) and reduces fat-burning capacity.
  • It also elevates cortisol, increasing fat storage, especially belly fat.

3️⃣ Toxic Buildup in the Brain

  • The glymphatic system clears toxins during deep sleep. Without it? Buildup of beta-amyloid (linked to Alzheimer’s).
  • Poor sleep is associated with brain fog, mood disorders, and accelerated aging.

4️⃣ Circadian Rhythm Mismatch = Shortened Lifespan

  • Night shift work & erratic sleep increase the risk of metabolic diseases and even cancer.
  • The WHO classifies night shift work as a probable carcinogen.


🔹 7-Day Sleep Optimization Plan for Fat Loss


📅 Day 1: Fix Your Sleep Schedule

  • Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day (even on weekends!).
  • Sleep between 10 PM - 2 AM for maximum fat-burning benefits (the "Money Time Sleep Window").

🌞 Day 2: Get Morning & Evening Sunlight

  • Morning sunlight lowers cortisol and regulates your body clock.
  • Evening light (sunset or dim lights) signals melatonin production.

📵 Day 3: Cut Off Blue Light at Night

  • No screens 90 minutes before bed—use blue light blocking glasses if needed.
  • Reduce artificial light and avoid bright overhead lights at night.

🥗 Day 4: Stop Eating at Least 3 Hours Before Bed

  • Eating late raises body temperature and insulin, blocking deep sleep.
  • If you must snack, prioritize protein & fat instead of carbs.

🌡 Day 5: Keep Your Bedroom Cool (60-68°F)

  • Lower body temperature = deeper sleep.
  • Use a cooling mattress pad or sleep with less clothing if necessary.

💆 Day 6: Use Magnesium & Relaxation Hacks

  • Magnesium glycinate before bed can calm the nervous system.
  • Try meditation, breathwork, or binaural beats for relaxation.

🚫 Day 7: No Caffeine After 2 PM

  • Caffeine has a half-life of 5-6 hours—cut it off early for better sleep.
  • If you need a pick-me-up, opt for herbal teas or decaf options.


Bonus: Sleep Tracking & Biohacking

  • Use a sleep tracker (Oura Ring, WHOOP) to monitor deep sleep & HRV.
  • Experiment with red light therapy before bed for melatonin production.
  • Try BrainTap or inHarmony meditation cushion to enhance relaxation.
