Sleep more, weigh less

Insomnia Can Hinder Your Weight Loss
Recent medical studies show that sleep loss can increase hunger and affect your body’s metabolism in a way that makes weight loss more difficult. So if you’re making a good effort in your nutrition and fitness plans, you still might be able to improve your success with better sleep.


I can attest to this. For years I slept an average of 4 hours per day — and my weight increased substantially. Of course, it was a combination of factors that included less-than-ideal nutrition and lack of exercise, but the lack of sleep contributed tremendously to weight gain.
