Question 5

thoughts? could sleeping more help me lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Human growth hormone (hgh) is particularly released during delta phase of sleep, the deepest sleep level.

Remember, it is not necessarily total sleep time but more so the quality and level of delta sleep levels that may be at play.
