When I began FORCING myself to get 7-8 hours of sleep rather than 5-6 hours, I lost not only weight, but FIVE INCHES around my waist - in about three months.
Honestly - the inches lost around my midsection were amazing - five in the waist, five in the bust, and three in the hips - and I only lost about 10 - 12 pounds in order to lose that many inches.
It had to have something to do with the excess cortisol.
In my experience, sleep is EXTREMELY important. The only mornings when I would wake up having suddenly lost 2-3 pounds after a stall, were the nights that I had 8+ hours of restful sleep.
Sleep is important for efficient physiological function. If you don't get enough sleep, your body starts shutting down. You'll hallucinate, you'll binge or purge or forget to eat entirely, your organs will scream at you, your heart will suffer, your colon will protest, your brain will hurt, your sinuses will swell up, every part of your body will suffer.
Your question is pretty out there. It's like asking if the planet needs oceans in order for your dog to get enough exercise.
I've always heard it's important and believe it probably is. I'm an exception to the rule, though. As long as I work out and watch what I eat, I tend to lose weight whether I'm getting enough sleep or going through periods of major sleep deprivation (happens when you're a mom and college student unfortunately).
Hi,I think the sleep is very important for health and if you want to loss your weight then you have sleep more than the rotuine time.normally the naturation recommend to sleem 8 houres for the 17-20 age.
