Loose fat. Sleep more!

Did you know that sleep affects hormones in your body?
The body's hormones have a 24-hour rhythm and when you disrupt sleep, you disrupt your hormones.
You become glucose intolerant, you want to eat more, and you don't metabolize what you eat as well.
Studies show that lack of sleep can lead to weight gain and getting enough can help you lose.
Inadequate sleep activate the appetite control center in the brain (hypothalamus) which in turn influences hormones such as ghrelin and leptin that promote hunger and excessive eating. This appears to be one mechanism that causes people to gain weight when they don’t get enough sleep.
These results were confirmed by another group of researchers from Columbus University that showed unwanted weight gain was basically proportional to the amount of sleep a person gets each night. The fattest people only slept 2-3 hours each night.
