A sleep schedules is vital to any weight-loss plan. Too much or too little shut-eye can add extra pounds. The 5 years of research has shown, in the under -40 age group, people who slept 5 hours or less each night gain near 2 and half times as much abdominal fat as those who logged 6 to 7 hours. Also, those who slept 8 hours or longer added nearly twice as much belly fat as the 6 to 7 hours group.
People with sleep deficits tend to eat more (and use less energy) because they are tired. While those who sleep longer than 8 hours a night may be less active.
