Sleep deprivation is getting a ton of press recently and I’m not surprised. We’re spending our vital energy at an incredible pace these days!
And while, it’s managing your energy is not about sleep alone, sleep is the bedrock of recuperating your energy.
Here’s the recent article by John Hopkins Medical:
One more reason to get a good night’s sleep: a recent study shows that people who sleep the least weigh the most!
Unfortunately, more and more Americans suffer from chronic sleep deprivation, with over one third of American adults now sleeping less than seven hours each night. Getting less than the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep a night can lead to poor concentration, raise the risk of colds and other infections, and leave you feeling worn out and easily irritated. Now new research has uncovered an association between chronic sleep deprivation and obesity. Whether sleeping more can help protect people against weight gain and obesity, however, is not yet clear.
Does less sleep=more weight?
