| This article completely ignores the known "why". There are multiple factors in sleep that would have an influence on weight. 1) when you are sleep deprived, or don't get enough sleep, you have increased insulin resistence, which is related to increased fat stores [1] 2) reduced sleep causes you to crave sugary and fatty foods as a source [2] The idea from the article that sleep gained over x years would result in a * b reduction in weight is ludicrous. It doesn't work that way. I work in the sleep space as the founder of https://soundmind.co we're focused on improving Sleep Performance, the neurological function of sleep. Our DeepWave auditory stimulation is focused on some of the brains mechanisms that are associated with the insulin resistance mentioned above (https://soundmind.co/research). Happy to answer any questions. [1]https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2018.00077.... [2]https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/getting-more-slee.... |
absolutely. I've definitely noticed this. Its a big part of how I'm trying to manage my weight gain, just being aware of this effect.
