Недостаток сна приводит к увеличению веса | Lack of sleep increases our weight

A new study has found that people who do not sleep well eat more. The research from Colombia University in the U.S. found that people who had problems sleeping ate an average of 300 calories per day more than those who got enough sleep. The researchers said women were worst affected by a lack of rest as they consumed 329 more calories a day, compared to 263 for men. The report said “high-fat food is tempting” when we are short on sleep, and that "ice cream was a favorite”.

Everyone knows how important sleep is to our health, but not all of us get a good night’s sleep. If you’re lucky, you sleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. The unlucky ones have to count sheep for hours, and then perhaps raid the fridge for a midnight snack. Our body and mind needs a lot of rest. Doctors say we must get around eight hours sleep a night. We all need to think more seriously about the health benefits of sleeping well and get into a regular sleep pattern.
