Sleep In, Stay Slim?

Why sleeping more could help you lose weight | Mail Online: "If you want to lose weight the surprising answer is to stay in bed longer.

Those who are 'short sleepers' are more likely to end up overweight even if they are more active than 'long sleepers' during the day, according to new research.

Short sleepers tended to have greater difficulty getting to sleep and staying asleep.

Tests found suffering sleepless nights can disrupt natural hormonal balances. This can reduce levels of the 'hunger hormone' leptin, causing people to eat more."
