SLEEP FOR WEIGHT LOSS?

According to scientists at the University of Chicago, you don't need to strengthen your willpower to cut down on calories. They say another hour or two of sleep could do the trick! Is that not the easiest way you ever heard of to lose weight?  These scientists found that people who increased sleep time from around 6 hours to over 7 hours consumed almost 400 less calories a day. The reason? The recommendation is 7 to 8 hours of sleep nightly which regulates connections between areas of the brain that manage craving for high-fat foods. Snooze away and save calories!
