Why Sleep Is So Important to the Weight Loss Process

Here is an article on why sleep is so important to the weight loss process. Essentially according to the Wayne State University of Medicine, as we become sleep derrived, "hormones that process appetite begin to get disorganized." "There's a decrease in the amount of leptin, an appetite-suppressing hormone, when a person gets too little sleep. At the same time, ghrelin -- a hormone that stimulates appetite -- increases with a lack of sleep." It is recommended that we get not less than 6 hours of sleep per night and ultimately 7 or 8 to be at our peak. http://health.msn.com/health-topics/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100205002
