The Sleep Diet
While any Diet titled the Sleep Diet may sound like a dream come true. It might not be quite that easy.
Research has shown that getting a good night’s sleep every night, and on a regular schedule, keeps your body healthy. our body also continues to burn calories throughout the night while you sleep; which in fact is good for weight loss to a certain extent. After all, when you sleep you aren’t taking in any calories but still burning them off.
While some reports for the “diet” suggests that people should sleep upwards of 10 hours a night, doctors say the average person should sleep 6-9 hours a night depending on their body. As with most diets, effects may differ for each person so you should try it out and figure out what amount of hours of sleep work for you.
At the least, getting enough sleep at night will leave you with the energy to battle hunger cravings and maybe even a trip to the gym.
