People who sleep less than 7 hours or more than 9 hours a night gain more weight overa period of time and become obese than individuals who log 8 hours every night.

People who want to lose weight or prevent weight gain not only should exercise and eat well, but also sleep well said Dr K K Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India and Editor, eMedinewS.

Top experts explore the possibilities that if you can sleep more, it will help you control your weight. So lose weight while you sleep. This sounds like a tagline in some late night infomercial.

But as odd as it sounds, studies revealed stupendous links between sleeping and losing weight. The amount and quality of sleep you take may somehow control the release of hormones responsible for appetite.

One of the more interesting ideas that has been smoldering and is now gaining momentum is the appreciation of the fact that sleep and sleep disruption do remarkable things to the body — including possibly influencing our weight,” says David Rapoport, MD, associate professor and director of the Sleep Medicine Program at the New York University School of Medicine in New York City.

It has been known for years that many hormones are affected by sleep and Rapoport said that it wasn’t until recently that appetite entered the scene. Leptin and ghrelin are the hormones that influence appetite. Studies show that the production of both hormones are affected by how much or how little one sleeps.

Have you ever experienced when you had some sleepless nights, and no matter how much food you take you never feel full or satiated. If you have felt that, then you have experienced the work of leptin and ghrelin in your system.

  2. Thanks for your posting. My partner and i have generally observed that the majority of people are wanting to lose weight since they wish to appear slim and attractive. However, they do not often realize that there are more benefits to losing weight in addition. Doctors state that obese people come across a variety of disorders that can be directly attributed to their particular excess weight. The good thing is that people who definitely are overweight in addition to suffering from diverse diseases can reduce the severity of their illnesses by means of losing weight. It is possible to see a steady but identifiable improvement in health while even a moderate amount of weight reduction is attained.
