Only in studies will people be perhaps convinced of the abnormalities and issues that lack of sleep bring. Health are expected to be at the top of the list and for today, it has to do something with weight.
Ideally, we hear about people losing weight due to lack of sleep. But in a strange twist, a study proves that lack of sleep can be a cause for gaining weight and eventually lead to obesity.
A study carried out by the University of Washington showed how some genetic traits could imp
Obesity and sleep deprivation issues are already health risks on their own and when you combine both, it may lead to a serious death risk. Sleeping pills have their share of issues and as per findings by a family physician and epidemiologist from the Jackson Hole Centre for Preventive Medicine, obese persons may want to beware.
It seems that people suffering from obesity are seen as vulnerable and such would be catastrophic for people taking sleeping pills. Pills were found to be tied with longer pause
Sleep has been a problem for most people and while we all know the risks associated with the failure to get the proper amount of sleep, an infographic may somehow give the sleep-deprived a better view of the risks they are playing with.
Among them include that of the familiar link of lack of sleep with that of obesity. Apparently the graphic shows varying trends that depend highly on how much sleep a person gets. For example, a person who spends 7.5 hours a night in bed, only 6
You may have probably heard or read somewhere that lack of sleep is likely to be tied up with obesity and today we find an interesting highlight that may sort of explain the whole issue. Ordinarily, lack of sleep may make you think you are forced to eat less with the notion that you would prefer to sleep than eat. But an experiment proved otherwise.
Apparently the trick was done using some photos of food on 12 normally weighted men. They did not sleep and after some scans showed a high level
Sleep habits have been linked to obesity but now it looks like there is a new factor that will be thrown into it. This has to do with the level of temperature a person has around him, something that could be a vital cog with regards to sleep loss.
The study was made by researchers over the Simona Bo at the University of Turin in Italy. Compared to people who kept their homes no warmer than 20 C (68 F) in the fall and winter, those who liked a toastier home were twice as likely to becom
Everyone has varying sleep schedules but have you noticed any changes to your body lately? Well if you see some bulges, chances are you may have to change your sleep schedule or else face the fat!
Apparently staying up late can affect metabolism, something that helps you burn those excess calories. And a new study from the Ohio State University and the University of Haifa in Israel found through mice, that people may suffer from obesity when their sleep cycle is disrupted by exposure to light.
If you are conscious about your weight, then exercising may not be the only solution. In fact, you can probably sleep on it! Especially if you are in your teens, a study suggest that the best ways to fight calories and the fat is to sleep regularly.
This is not the first time we have heard of the link between obesity and sleep loss. It has been reported by other studies that lack of sleep may alter levels of hormones that regulate one’s appetite, but only a few tried to see the influence of sle
Sleep deprivation is something obviously hurting people nowadays and it seems that these findings by the National Sleep Foundation may open more eyes than usual. From an average sleeping time of 9 hours, Americans are sleeping just 6.9 hours per night.
This represents a two hour drop per night since the 19th century, one hour per night over the past 50 years, and about 15 to 25 minutes per night just since 2001. A number of health factors can result from this, including heart problems, obesity a
A new British study has found that a certain eye disorder has been linked to the dreaded sleep apnea problem. It is called FES (floppy eyelid syndrome) which is pretty much associated with obstructive sleep apnea.
People with OSA are at risk of oxygen deprivation when breathing slows or stops during sleep. OSA can contribute to or be aggravated by high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and other systemic problems.

Losing weight has been known to help us as far as healthy living is concerned. And while many aim for a better looking body and physique, weight loss may yet be a great help for the people having sleep apnea problems. People who are overweight or obese are much more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which a person’s breathing stops or becomes very shallow, sometimes several hundred times a night and sometimes for as long as a minute, according to the American Sleep Apnea Association.
This could lead to heart problems which is normal for people who h
