What Dr. Hamilton could say on
Sleep and Weight Loss:
Poor sleep habits are an independent risk factor for weight gain: studies show reduced sleep is contributing to the obesity epidemic.
-
- Studies compared people dieting who slept 8.5 hours a day versus 5.5 hours a day (all being equal) the more sleep and the more calories (energy) are burned.
- People who have healthy sleep habits tend to be thinner.
