General Info
What's the connection between sleep and weight loss? Apparently, if you don't get enough sleep, as if that' not enough of a problem, you're also at risk for being overweight. On the surface, this almost seems counter-intuitive. After all, if you're awake, you have the chance to be running around and burning up calories, while sleeping -you might think- would make it harder to lose weight. As it turns out, though, it doesn't work this way. This is not news, but more and more research confirms this. There doesn't seem to be a clear cut explanation, at least that we've seen, but it probably has something to do with your metabolism. Lack of sleep can cause many negative effects, apart from just being tired all the time. It can make it harder to think clearly and perform your job well. It can lead to depression and other emotional problems. And it also interferes with the way your body burns fat. Since we already know that getting enough sleep is important, even apart from weight loss, this is just another reason to address this issue if it's a problem for you. In some cases, you may need medical help if you have a severe case of insomnia. For many people, however, lack of sleep has to do with factors that are under your control. If you consume stimulants, including coffee or caffeinated tea or alcohol at night, this can interfere with your sleep. So can large meals, which, incidentally, are harder to burn off late in the day. Finally, if you stay up too late because you're watching TV, surfing the Internet or playing games on your computer (or some other reason), this is really a matter of self-discipline. What's more important, your health or spending a few mindless hours staring at a screen? Hopefully, you'll answer this question the sensible way! So we may not yet understand exactly what the connection between sleep and weight loss is, but we know there is one. And, since getting enough sleep makes us feel better anyway, we now have even more reason to make sure we don't ignore this important aspect of our lives.
