As it turned out, not only well-being, but also figure depends on the duration and quality of our sleep.
Scientists from the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin in Madison found that an extra hour of sleep significantly reduces appetite during the day. And on average, such a dream can reduce a person's diet by 270 calories. It would seem that this is not so much - but such a reduction in calories will allow you to imperceptibly maintain your figure in a normal way without any extra effort.
Previously, scientists have proven more than once that insufficient sleep affects appetite regulation, which leads to increased food intake and increases the risk of weight gain. In addition, the lack of night rest leads to a slowdown in metabolism and "incorrect" production of hormones. And therefore, by eliminating this problem, you can achieve significant results in losing weight. And if you add another 60-80 minutes to your night's rest, the result will be visible much faster, experts say.
The results of a recent study showed that an extra hour of sleep, on average, led to a significant reduction in food intake among subjects. This already in a short period began to have a positive effect on their appearance.
As scientists note, in three years of such practice, a person can lose about 11 kg. And this is only due to more sleep. Experts also hope to study the main mechanisms of long-term sleep effects during further research.
The author of the study, Esra Tasali, recommends to everyone who is trying to cope with an increased appetite to increase the duration of sleep. She assures that this will have a positive effect not only on your figure, but also on your well-being.
