Sleep yourself skinny: It's not only leaving us shattered and ill. Experts say too little shut-eye is making us fat | Mail Online

In an informal experiment by a U.S. magazine, led by Dr Michael Breus, a group of women were asked to keep their eating and exercise habits as they were, but to sleep for seven-and-a-half hours a night.

Astonishingly, all the women lost between 3lb and 15lb. Now, a larger U.S. study is investigating the effect that sleeping for longer has on body weight. ‘We are looking at the prevention of obesity,’ Dr Taheri says. ‘The connection [between sleep deprivation and putting on weight] holds true everywhere, even Japan.’

Sleep is important. The work will still be there tomorrow. I promise.
 


well eat and workout in gym , this will lead to loose of weight and keeps health. But, avoid non-vegetarian food for couple of months and have vegetarian food.

I get about 8-9 hours a night. It's nice. When I stumble out at 7 am everyone's already gone. Double win.

That + the bed I bought about 9 months ago (The ComforPedic® Capri - ComforPedic by Simmons™) I feel the most rested I ever have in my freakin life.

Don't you find keeping sheets on that thing a total pain in the ass? I had a Tempurpedic a few years back and the sheets kept popping off the damn corners. I'd wake up half on the sheet, and half on the bed. It wasn't all that comfortable anyway. My whole AnythingPedic experience was destroyed by that stupid bed.

Also, guerilla, your totally right. It's my understanding that it's the lack of sleep killing obese people, not necessarily the other symptoms of being over weight.
 
I have to get back to my schedule of 8 - 9 hrs sleep, since the last 15 days I have just forgotten what is sleep ! Caffeine helps but not always.
 
When I don't have school I sleep as much as 12 hours/night. The increase in focus/happiness/productivity is worth the time lost.
 
Got a quick question. What's the minimum amount of sleep I need in order to retain information I've been cramming in the past few days? 4.5 hours sound good?

I've never been obsessed with sleep schedules in my life. I would just sleep as long as I felt the need to, which is somewhere between 7 hours and 10 hours.

I used to have a job as a night guard. Working hours were weird so I used to have only 5 hours of sleep. I could cope with it for some time, but I definitely felt the effects after a month or so (being zombie brained and in shitty mood for most of the time).
