How You Sleep Can Impact Weight Gain

by DelKidd62 on March 22, 2010

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Younger adults who get either little sleep or a lot of it may see a greater expansion in their waistlines over time, a study published Monday suggests. Researchers found that among black and Hispanic adults younger than 40, those who typically slept for five hours or less each night had a greater accumulation of belly fat over the next five years, versus those who averaged six or seven hours.  

Those who logged eight hours or more in bed each night also showed a bigger fat gain — but it was less substantial than that seen in “short sleepers.”  The study, reported in the journal Sleep, does not prove that too little or too much sleep directly leads to excess fat gain. But the findings support and extend those of other studies linking sleep duration — particularly a lack of sleep — to weight gain and even to higher risks of diabetes and heart disease.
