You will burn fat during sleep, it is better to get enough sleep and wake up full of energy.

Drink cocktails
Feed your hungry muscles, changing serum to casein in your cocktail after training. This protein of slow assimilation is digested for 8 hours, supporting the metabolism fire all night. Scientists from the University of Maastricht found that casein strengthens protein synthesis, which helps you cut 35 calories per day for every half a kilogram of new muscle mass.

Take a cold shower
