Lack Of Sleep Linked To Eating Lots More Calories...
Dear Reader,
Yet another reason to get your sleep. A new study finds that if you're sleep deprived, you'll eat more calories than usual, and this can cause you to gain weight rather quickly.
Researchers compared subjects who slept as much as they wanted to those who were allowed just two thirds of their normal sleeping time and found that sleep deprivation was associated with an intake of more calories. An extra 549 calories per day according to the study.
Over a week, this adds up to a pound of weight, though researcher Andrew Calvin, MD, MPH, a fellow in cardiovascular disease and an assistant professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic admits experts don't know how long the increased calorie intake continues. The latest study lasted only eight days.
The team examined 17 subjects; both men and women aged 18 to 40 who did not have any sleep disorders. The participants wore a watch-sized device known as an actigraph that kept track of their sleep for three nights, and the team evaluated how much time the person spent sleeping.
Next came the eight-day study in the sleep lab, subjects were randomly assigned to sleep as much as they wanted, or to sleep only two thirds of their normal sleep time. At home, the average amount of sleep was 6.5 hours per night.
During the time in the sleep lab, the sleep deprived group averaged 5.2 hours, while the others continued to sleep that 6.5 hours per night. Food intake was logged during the study, and participants had access to as much as they wanted.
Turns out that while the sleep-deprived group ate the 549 extra calories each day, the control group ate almost 143 fewer calories a day than they usually did.
The researchers also tracked how active the participants were. You might think that if you're awake longer, you're more active. This wasn't so. The sleep-deprived subjects didn't have that much difference in activity than those who slept all they wanted.
Sleep deprivation was also associated with somewhat higher levels of leptin, a hormone that signals the brain you're full, and slightly lower levels of ghrelin, the hormone that signals hunger. Calvin and his team expected the opposite - lack of sleep would reduce leptin and make ghrelin go up. That would account for people feeling hungrier and less satisfied. The changes found in the research were slight and might well be a consequence, instead of a cause, of consuming those extra calories.

Lack Of Sleep Linked To Eating Lots More Calories... Continued...
These findings support earlier studies showing lack of sleep is associated with
weight gain and being obese, in both children and adults. But the link between
lack of sleep and extra calorie intake may be far more complex than anyone thought.
Your best bet, especially if you are trying to maintain a healthy weight, or
lose some weight, is to get enough sleep for your needs. Start with the National
Sleep Foundation guideline of from 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night and see how
this works for you.
The findings were presented at the American Heart Association's Epidemiology
and Prevention/Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism 2012 Scientific Sessions.
Because the study was presented at a medical conference, you need to think of
it as preliminary until its undergone a "peer review" process.
To your good health,
