Sleep Less, Eat More?
Ant writes "A study, published Monday, found that people who sleep less tend to be fat, and experts said it's time to find if more sleep will fight obesity. Monday's study from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk covered 1,000 people and found that total sleep time decreased as body mass index -- a measure of weight based on height -- increased. Men slept an average of 27 minutes less than women and overweight and obese patients slept less than patients with normal weights, it said. In general the fatter subjects slept about 1.8 hours a week less than those with normal weights."
Did it not occur to anyone that if you're sleeping you're incapable of eating?? I mean if some lardass is up for 20 hours/day, then he's going to consume 30-40 tacos vs. 10-20 tacos if he's sleeping for 20 hours/day. This same logic means that people quit smoking, everyday -- right before bed. The longer they sleep, the better they are at getting over their addiction? :|
