Recent studies have shown that the better you sleep, the less likely you are to gain weight.
For the sake of your belly, sleep the best you can every night ..
In a study at the University of Colorado, people who slept 5 hours or less each night gained 1 kilogram of weight in just one week.
Also, people who slept little burned 111 extra calories per day? for being awake longer? and they also increased their food intake, more than they burned, leading to weight gain.
In fact, these bad sleepers consumed more high-calorie food during the night than at any other time of day, according to study author Dr. Kenneth Wright.
The good thing is that the solution is simple: When participants were allowed to sleep 9 hours each night, they ate fewer calories and did not gain weight.
