Sounds like a dieters’ dream – weight disappearing while you sleep.

Well it’s not quite that simple, but researchers have discovered an exciting link between sleep and the hormones which influence our eating behaviour.

Sleep research has shown that people who sleep less than 6 hrs produce more of a hunger-inducing hormone and less of a hormone that balances your metabolism.

Lack of sleep can increase overeating.

Researchers from several separate studies have proved a definite link between sleep and these hormones that influence our eating habits. There are two specific hormones are involved. Ghrelin, which is responsible for feelings of hunger and Leptin, which tells the brain when we’re full and it’s time to stop eating.

When don’t get enough sleep, your ghrelin levels increase and at the same time your Leptin levels decrease. The result is an increased craving for food and not feeling full.

Add the fact that sleep deprived people tend to chose different foods to snack on—mainly high calorie sweets, salty and starchy foods. When we understand this, it’s not difficult to see that not getting enough ‘shut eye’ can cause a big problem. Yes, continued lack of sleep can lead to hormone changes that will not only sabotage your weight loss efforts, but could also lead to long-term weight gain.

So come on folks, make sure you get enought 'shut eye' 7 - 8 hours minimum for most of us to stay healthy and help shed the pounds.

It is correct that lack of sleep increases over eating and you may feel hunger and it is bad for your health because health is very important issue and we must not be negligent in health matter.

i heard only from you only that lack of a Normal sleep could increases the weight. my thoughts were different before this.
what if a person sleep more hrs than a normal sleep, does it helps in losing or gaining weights?

It's a good thing to get a good nights kip, you can also try drinking cherry active, which you can buy from Holland and Barret. Works a treat for me

Wow! Some information you got there! That's so new to me. I have learned that my metabolism was so slow that causes me to gain weight more than others. I don't normally sleep for 8 hours. 5 hour sleep is normal for me. Now, I understand. Thanks!

Very good info. I am going to start getting full time sleep.

I already do that, it's called not sleeping instead of eating.

Even I have lack of sleep problem but now i will try sleep full time and eat healthy food.

Lack of sleep can cause so many health problems and skin problems also so it's always better to complete 6 hours of sleep.

If we simply get more sleep, our bodies don't do this to us, and you will notice a drop in weight even if you don't make a single change to your diet. There are many other secret weapons for losing weight.
