Losing weight is often a daunting task, whether it’s five pounds or five stone, but studies have shown that sleeping more can make a huge difference in the process.
Various studies by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) have found correlations between sleeping for longer and keeping a regular schedule, which could make losing weight much simpler.
One theory among researchers is that a lack of sleep can negatively affect your body’s ability to regulate neurotransmitters, also called chemical messengers.
