Sleeping Leads to Weight Loss? Here's What Experts Say

A recent study abroad shows that lack of sleep can induce obesity.

Researchers divided the volunteers into two groups, one group had normal nighttime sleep, and the other group stayed up late and went to bed. After extracting fat, muscle tissue and blood samples from both groups, it was found that the gene activity displayed by insufficient sleep fat tissue was related to increased cellular fat absorption and a tendency for increased accumulation.

This means that lack of sleep changes our metabolism and increases the body's ability to store fat.

Staying up late is also a culprit that makes you wear a swimsuit.

But for those companions who are working and learning under pressure during the day, staying up late has become a habit, unless, early sleep can effectively help you lose weight.....

Now, scientists have brought good news

'Sleeping an extra hour can help you lose weight'

A recent study published in the 'American Journal of Clinical Nutrition' found that good sleep can improve a person's dietary habits. Researchers divided 42 healthy adults into two groups, and one group received 45 minutes of sleep counseling, increasing their sleep time by 1 hour, while the other group did not receive any sleep intervention. After recording sleep time and nutritional intake for a week, the results showed that participants who increased their sleep time reduced their daily intake of sugar by 10 grams, and their carbohydrate intake was also lower than that of participants who did not increase their sleep time.

In simple terms, if you sleep an extra hour, the more sufficient sleep will potentially reduce your need for sugar and carbohydrates, which is more conducive to weight loss compared to the previous day's energy intake.

1. Create a good sleep environment

An hour before going to bed, you can choose to read a book, listen to a few peaceful and soothing music, soak your feet, gradually relax your body and enter a state of sleep. Finally, turn off the TV and mobile phones before sleeping to prevent light from reducing your melatonin secretion and affecting sleep quality.

2. Do not drink alcohol before bed

Alcohol will initially make you drowsy, but it affects your deep sleep. Once the hypnotic effect of alcohol passes, the body may wake up in the middle of the night, hindering your re-sleep.
