Sleep more and it is easier to lose weight (Conditioning Research)
There is an interesting study in the International Journal of Obesity this month. Lots of times in the past I’ve pointed to things saying to get more sleep for lots of health reasons – inflammation, stress reduction etc. I have just drafted up an article on sleep and I talk about the signals that you give to your body. Compromised sleep sends a signal that you are under threat….so you produce stress hormones to get you ready for the threat…..and chronically elevated stress hormones (cortisol etc) lead to all sorts of problems….including obesity.
This new study found that those who slept more were better at losing weight! Lowered stress was also a success factor, although that is linked – sleep more a way of reducing stress.
