The study, published in the <a title=\"Good Night\u2019s Sleep Keeps Obesity Away\" href=\"http:\/\/ajcn.nutrition.org\/content\/early\/2010\/03\/31\/ajcn.2009.28523.abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>American Journal of Clinical Nutrition<\/em><\/a>, found study participants consumed 22 percent more calories with an average calorie increase of about 560 after the short night of sleep.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;In comparison with the eight-hour sleep session, subjects consumed 559 \u00b1 617 kcal (i.e., 22 percent) more energy on the day after sleep restriction (P&lt;0.01), and preprandial hunger was higher before breakfast (P&lt;0.001) and dinner (P&lt;0.05).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The researchers themselves put it down to evolution, although I have a sneaking suspicion that there are simpler reasons for this.\u00a0 For starters, losing 4 hours of sleep = 4 more hours\u00a0 of the day to be awake and &#8211; potentially &#8211; hungry.\u00a0 In addition, feeling\u00a0stressed and\u00a0fatigued from lack of sleep can easily trigger &#8220;comfort&#8221; food consumption.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re looking to lose some weight,\u00a0you might want to\u00a0plan for a little extra shut-eye. It certainly won&#8217;t hurt you, and could possibly help keep cravings in check.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why so?\u00a0 Because being sleep-deprived could lead to overeating, according to French researchers.
