If you want to lose weight, it's better to stay in bed for a long time. American researchers have established that short sleepers are more likely to be overweight.
Even if you have slept little and still have an active day to go, short sleepers still get fat faster. According to the researchers, hormones play a major role. Because short sleepers sleep worse, the amount of leptin decreases. Leptin is known as the hunger hormone, which causes people to eat more.
During the study, the participants wore a special bracelet. Their movements, body temperature and other indicators were measured on this. It is striking that the long sleepers turned out to be less active than those with short nights.
Short sleepers turned out to be more stressed and they were more likely to forget things. To bring everything to a good end, they have to do their best. More stress also means eating more, which means that the weight is higher.
