I usually get about 3 to 4 hours a night sleep I get home late and leave early. By the time I get home it takes me a few hours to settle down when I come in and get a shower and ETC. Then about once a month it will catch up with me and I will need to get some much needed rest.
I used to think perhaps sleeping less can help losing weight, not when I read this:
An extra hour between the sheets at night might be the key to shedding excess weight and fighting obesity, according to recent research.
More sleep could be the ideal way of stabilizing weight or slimming. While poor eating habits and lack of exercise clearly play a role in the global rise of obesity, recent data indicates that lack of sleep may also be a factor, and one that is often under-estimated.
Two key hormones produced at night which help regulate appetite were at play, researchers said.
It's shown that less sleep (two four-hour nights) caused an 18 percent loss of appetite-cutting leptin and a 28 percent increase of appetite-causing grehlin. Such hormonal changes made people hungry for foods heavy in fats and sugars such as chips, biscuits, cakes and peanuts, she added.
The sleep loss caused a 23 to 24 percent increase in hunger, translating into an extra 350 to 500 kilocalories a day, which for a young sedentary adult of normal weight could lead to a major amount of added weight.
