Research shows that people who sleep less than seven hours per night are heavier, gain more weight over the time and have a harder time losing weight! Missing out on
a good sleep can also lead to weight gain.
These five reasons are your best excuses to hit snooze button and get more sleep.
1. It helps late-night snacking: The longer you are awake, the more likely you are to consume calories you do not need, which can cause you to gain up to two pounds a week.
2. It helps you burn more calories: Not only do you have more energy to take on the day after a good night’s sleep, but your body also torches calories, even when you are not working out.
3. It boosts fat loss: Even if you eat the exact same diet as your friend, if you’re not getting the sleep your body needs, you won’t drop as much fat as them.
4. It helps you shop for healthier food: Never go grocery shopping when you’re hungry or exhausted, you tend to shop for more calories in food than well-rested men.
5. It keeps your brain focused: Your brain functions differently without sleep. The brain activity between sleepy people and people with enough rest are different.
Importantly, unhealthy food activates this region more than healthy food, which means that skipping out on a sleep could make it harder to skip out on a trip to the vending machine.
