Getting more
time to sleep can help boost fat burning and prevent weight gain.
Series of
studies have found an association between getting enough sleep and weight loss.
Study of about 70,000 women showed that those who slept five
or less hours per night over a period of 17 years or there about were more
likely to gain weight than those who slept for longer than seven hours per
night.
Though everyone needs a different amount of sleep, another
study showed that better sleep quality and getting at least seven hours of
sleep per night increased the likelihood of successful weight loss by 33% in
over 200 women enrolled in a six-month weight loss program .
If you eat the exact same diet as your friend, and you are
not getting the sleep your body needs, you would not drop as much fat as them.
A recent research from the University of Chicago compared the weight-loss
results from sleeping eight and a half hours per night versus only five and a
half hours per night.
Investigation shows that a lack of sleep may contribute to
alterations in hunger hormones, increased appetite and a higher risk of obesity.
