It seems that sleepless nights may be tied up with how much you weigh and eat and this issue will be tackled at this year’s National Sleep Awareness Week to be held from March 7 to 13. Health benefits will be among the topics which include proper rest and surprisingly, weight control.
There are two appetite-controlling hormones which contribute to the loss of sleep. Not only are you hungry in one sleep study, the participants’ desire for high-calorie, carbohydrate-dense foods rose 45% after inadequate sleep. Another study indicates that those who sleep less than eight hours a night have a higher level of body fat.
Hence if you want to battle the bulge and sleep better, this is one event you should not miss!
