Dream of clouds to weigh less (AP/Weather Underground)
To lose weight, maybe you ought to get more sleep. At least that’s what research at the Integrative Cardiac Health Project at Walter Reed Army Medical Center seems to suggest. When researchers measured people’s weight and compared it to how much they slept, they found that sleeping longer took off pounds.
The scientists theorize that cutting corners on sleep may play havoc with your hormones. It may reduce your leptin, a hormone that makes you feel full. In addition, if stress keeps you from falling asleep, that may lead to stress eating and other eating disorders.
