That's probably the most surprising bit - that sleeping an extra 52 minutes is equivalent to NOT sitting for an extra 56 minutes (in reducing your BMI by 7.4%)
So -- if you're sitting down, you are better off going all the way to sleep?? That is definitely not intuitive! Or is that only for extending the 'full night' of sleep?
I suppose if you are sitting and awake, you can still eat food, whereas when you're asleep you are probably not eating.
Sleep = idling body + myriad bodily repair processes we need to appreciate more. Less sleep makes you hungrier, more stressed (more fat storage) and less able to exercise.
Strangely, everytime I've gotten into a consistent habit of going to bed at 9pm, I've lost some weight.
I prefer staying up late, really late, like 3am. But along with the shorter sleep comes late night eating and probably a less efficient body function overall.
true, staying up late sometimes is one of the best this to do efficiency and productivity wise, but in the long term its wrecking me bit by bit. Try going to sleep early and waking up early, same peace in mind and calmness around the city for your productivity, helped me a bit
That's intuitive from a population-based standpoint. The more time spent sleeping, the less time kids have to eat or snack which lowers their daily caloric intake.
