tikieraListening to a podcast that says lack of sleep leads to obesity.
They are talking about hormones.
I would like to point something out - I have yet to see a study that can control for the busy factor.
People who are having sleep problems that get 5-6 hours of night tend to get that little sleep because they don't have time for more.
Such people are also more likely to eat worse - if you don't have time to sleep, you probably don't have time to eat healthy.
I have to find a study that controlled for diet/lack of time for exercise and so forth.
