A member asked:
Is it possible to lose weight by not sleeping enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely, in fact: A lack of sleep messes with two hormones, leptin and gheralin. When they are not regulated they make you want to eat too much and crave carbohydrates and comfort food which will make it very hard to lose weight.
