The Overlooked Link Between Sleep and Body Weight in Women

Key Takeaway:

Sleep helps regulate women’s weight as much as diet and exercise

Sample facts and insights:

  • Sleep loss influences what you crave and how much you eat. For example, sleep loss causes the hormones that tell your brain “I’m hungry” and “I’m full” to misfire causing you to overeat and/or crave sugary and calorie-dense foods

  • Overcoming sleep loss is proven to help women lose weight and fat while maintaining their muscle mass

  • Sleep loss influences where your fat is stored - usually more in the abdominal area

  • Sleep deprivation causes your body’s metabolism to slow down and burn fewer calories during rest and exercise than you otherwise would have

  • Practical solutions on what to and not to do
