Sleep & Weight Loss


Looking for ways to lose weight?

Sleeping can help!




What the studies show:

Lack of sleep and altered sleep schedules cause increase in appetite and weight gain
  • Increased risk of weight gain is seen with less than 5 hours of sleep a night
  • Decreased risk of weight gain is seen with ideal sleep of 7 to 8 hours a night
  • Keeping your thermostat at 68 degrees in the fall and winter also decreases risk of weight gain
