Sleep Well to Lose Weight

Are you working late into the night to meet deadlines? Are you losing sleep over a recent break-up? If you are, chances are that your weight loss tactics may fall way short of their objectives.

A new study has revealed that the more one experiences loss of sleep, the more prone he/she becomes to instantaneous weight loss and bulging waistlines. While most people would have otherwise associated longer sleep hours with laziness and hence weight gain, they have been outright contradicted.


Sleep, as the researchers have put it at, is to recharge the batteries that have been spent during the day’s chaos. And the more you get of it, the more refreshed you happen to be it – and hence the more active.

Another reason that makes working or staying up late nights a no-no for weight watchers is the fact that these longer hours mean quick snacks and meals post dinner. While they do not seem to be much, they do add up – especially as you tend to go to sleep without walking around or being active so deep into the night.

Sleep deprivation may also lead to depression and mood swings, which again automatically lead to kicking the diet off the charts or munching on junk food too often to bide the time!

So if you thought fatigue was taking the charm off your life, go to sleep. Chances are that you will wake up merrier and a few pounds lighter!
