Can you really lose weight by sleeping less
Lack of sleep will seriously affect the balance of hormones in women, disturb women's digestive system, increase food intake, increase fat storage, and eventually lead to overweight or obesity. Among people who sleep less than 5 hours a day, overweight people are far more than those who sleep normally by 30%.

During deep sleep, the brain will quietly secrete a large amount of growth hormone, guiding the body to convert fat into energy. If you reduce the deep sleep time and accumulate a lot of calories that can be converted into fat, the secretion of hormones can't keep up with the accumulation of calories, and your body will automatically convert these fats into buttocks, thighs and stomach. That's how obesity comes from.

Sleep fast slimming method

Point 1: Regular sleep time

Push the wake-up time forward by seven and a half hours, which is the time you should go to bed every day. If you have an appointment with your boyfriend or friend at the weekend, please push back the wake-up time by 1~2 hours, but you must ensure 7.5 hours of sleep. Key point: sleep for 7.5 hours every day. The closer the sleep time is to this goal, the more obvious the slimming effect will be (of course, it does not mean that the more you sleep, the more you lose weight).

The second point: good bedtime habits.

From 45 minutes before going to bed, you can do some activities that are conducive to sleep, such as reading books and taking a bath, so as to relax your body and prepare for sleep. Remember to turn off the TV and computer when you sleep, and turn the phone to mute. In order to prevent the eyes from feeling the light, it will send a wake-up signal to the brain, reducing the secretion of depigmentation, a hormone that promotes sleep.

Number three: Quit caffeine and alcoholic beverages.

After 2:30 pm, you can't touch those caffeinated drinks any more. Tea and soda are also forbidden. Three hours before bed, no more drinking. Excessive drinking will make you sleepy, but you won't get a deep sleep. When you wake up, you will still stay awake all night.

The fourth point: find the most suitable sleep time for yourself.

Not every woman needs only seven and a half hours of healthy sleep. Some people need nine hours. If the alarm clock in the morning is difficult to wake you up, it means you need more sleep time. Try to go to bed 15 minutes earlier gradually until you find the most ideal sleep time. This process takes about 1 week.
