Hard work makes you less rest? Do not ignore, especially if you want to lose weight. Research shows people who sleep deprivation and fatigue tend to eat more than people who get enough sleep.
The literature has shown a link between sleep duration with higher body mass index. But not yet known exactly how the people who sleep less may be more obese.
In a study conducted a number of experts from France, known to people who sleep less to spend 22 percent more calories compared to peers who slept enough (about 8 hours). Experts suspect, lack of sleep may contribute to the epidemic of obesity in developed countries.
According to the researchers, it can be explained by the behavior of mammals who like to eat more when they get not enough sleep. “Mammals tend to hoard calories in the summer, where nights are shorter and a little food,” said Dr.Laurent Brondel from the European Centre for Taste Sciences.
The results of this study reinforce the evidence of the importance of sleep for survival. “Lack of sleep is not just a problem of losing time, but the repair process of damaged cells that can affect various body functions,” said Brondel.
