If You Dream of Weight Loss, Try Getting a Good Night's Sleep

Quoted from The Telegraph

"A research in Portland, USA, by Kaiser Permanente, a health care consortium, found that people trying to lose at least 10lb were more likely to reach their goal if they had lower stress levels and slept moderately.

Nearly 500 obese adults with an average age of 55 took part in the study.

They were asked to attend 22 counselling sessions, reduce their diet by 500 calories a day and increase the amount of exercise they took to at least three hours a week.

They also had to keep a diary of their habits, including their sleep patterns and stress levels.

After six months, 60 per cent of the participants had lost at least 10lb."

Getting at least 6 hours to eight hours of sleep every night is recommended.

The results of this study was published in The International Journal of Obesity.
