can also effect weight and weight loss.
In several studies doctors have found that in sleep Leptin, the chemical that tells your brain you are full, drops significantly with little sleep or with un-restful sleep. This indicates that those who sleep more and get a restful night of shut eye feel more satisfied the next day and are less likely to over eat or turn to fatty food to defeat their feelings of hunger.
Another interesting point of the study was that there appeared to be a clear correlation between weight and how much sleep study participants received; the heaviest participants got the least amount of sleep.
