Sleeping too little at night will not only make you feel depressed and doze off the next day, but also affect your figure! Foreign studies have found that long-term lack of sleep is easy to gain weight, and many people go on a diet to lose weight, but ignore the importance of normal work and rest, which may lead to a thicker waist circumference.

Sleep too little, afraid of getting fat, moderate sleep is healthier.

The Daily Mail reported that the University of Leeds conducted a study on 16 15 adults, measured their weight, waist circumference and blood pressure, recorded their sleep time and diet, and conducted blood tests.

The results show that people who sleep only 6 hours a night have 3 centimeters more waistlines than those who sleep 9 hours a night, indicating that lack of sleep may lead to an increase in waistlines.

Studies have found that lack of sleep is easy to gain weight, and it is recommended that ordinary adults sleep for 7 to 9 hours every night. The researchers said: "We found that adults who don't get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight and obese, so our research emphasizes the importance of getting enough sleep." "Everyone needs different sleep time, but the general knowledge is that it is best for most adults to get 7-9 hours of adequate sleep every day. 」

This study did not discuss the causes of weight gain caused by lack of sleep, but previous studies showed that lack of sleep easily led to excessive secretion of "auxin" by the body, which led to increased appetite.
