Lose Weight By Sleeping More
Dr. Ray sahelian, M.D.
Researchers at the New York Obesity Nutrition Research Center, St Luke's�Roosevelt Hospital, had normal-weight men and women participate in a 2-phase inpatient crossover study in which they spent either 4 hours/night (restricted sleep) or 9 hours/night (habitual sleep) in bed. Each phase lasted 6 days, and functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed in the fasted state on day 6. Overall neuronal activity in response to food stimuli was greater after restricted sleep than after habitual sleep. The findings of this study are consistent with the notion that reduced sleep may lead to greater propensity to overeat. See natural ways to lose weight, http://www.raysahelian.com/weightloss.html
