Sleep loss may equal weight gain

Too little sleep can make you fat.
Snooze and learn: Researcher Eve Van Cauter shows a sleep-study room at the University of Chicago.

That's the conclusion of some groundbreaking research, including two new studies released Monday.
Scientists have found that sleep deprivation increases levels of a hunger hormone and decreases levels of a hormone that makes you feel full. The effects may lead to overeating and weight gain.
It could explain why so many Americans who are chronically sleep-deprived also are overweight. And it could be part of the reason sleepy college students, new parents and shift workers pack on pounds.
Researchers say getting enough shut-eye might be a critical component of weight control. And nutritionists one day might routinely advise dieters to "sleep it off" as well as to cut calories and increase exercise.
"We know the obesity epidemic is due to overeating — too big portions, too much rich food and too little activity — but why do we crave too much of these rich foods?" says Eve Van Cauter, a University of Chicago sleep researcher who is the lead investigator on one of the new studies. Maybe, she says, it's because "we are sleep-deprived and unable to curb our appetites."
Sleep does indeed appear to be an important piece of the weight-control puzzle, says Stanford University sleep researcher Emmanuel Mignot, who also is releasing new research.
If that's true, it might be part of the solution to the nation's obesity problem. Sixty-five percent of Americans are overweight or obese, which increases their risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer and other diseases.
This percentage takes on a special significance when balanced against the fact that an estimated 63% of American adults do not get the recommended eight hours of sleep a night, according to the National Sleep Foundation. In fact, the average adult gets 6.9 hours of sleep on weeknights and 7.5 hours on weekends, for a daily average of seven hours. Read More...
