Sleepless Weight Gain

Posted in Lifestyle, Research by Anne

Remember those ads that tout products that make you lose weight in your sleep? You just know it’s too good to be true, but it sounds SO appealing.

Well, while you probably can’t lose weight in your sleep, you may be able to ward off weight gain without even having to buy anything.

Really!

Researchers have found an inverse relationship between amount of sleep and weight gain in women. In other words, those who slept less gained more, and longer sleepers gained less weight.

As if I needed a reason to sleep more! :-)

There was no rationale determined for this association, but we all know how important sleep is. These findings were reported recently at the American Thoracic Society’s International Conference.

So, sleep!!
