A new study found that sleeping an hour and the average could help you lose weight. It sounds illogical, but we explain the reasons.
Why sleep more can reduce your weight?
Scientists at King's College London discovered that people who sleep more are less likely to choose foods high in sugar and fat.
Has it happened to you that when you are awake you crave food with more carbohydrates? This is because the lack of sleep alters the levels of the hormones that control the appetite.
The study showed that people who sleep well tend to choose healthier food, consuming about ten grams less sugar per day.
