Can sleeping or resting help lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones: Two hormones, leptin and gheralin are messed up with poor sleep. In this condition they make you want to eat more and eat more carbohydrates. So getting poor sleep makes you want to eat more and more of the wrong foods.
