Sleep Yourself Thin

I just found an interesting study by the Eastern Virginia Medical School…they found that thin people sleep an average of two hours more per week than overweight people.




They think that lack of sleep causes hormonal changes that could make you gain weight.




Interesting, isn’t it? I have always been a good sleeper. Even now I sleep nine hours a night on average. And I’ve always been what would be considered "thin." My sleep isn't always quality sleep; I wake up several times each night but usually can get back to sleep fairly easily. I would say that overall I average eight good hours of sleep most nights.



If you are trying to lose weight, it might be worth a try to get some extra shuteye. It calculates out to 17 extra minutes per day or night. A nice afternoon catnap just might make the difference. I’m not a napper, but if I was I would sure give it a go!

Sleep Good Everyone!
