Loss of sleep insidiously affects sustained attention, cognitive speed and
accuracy, working memory, reaction time, and overall behavioral capability,
often without the sleep-deprived person being aware of the deficits.

Loss of sleep also reduces levels of leptin, a hormone that suppresses
appetite, and increases ghrelin (GRELL-in), an appetite-stimulating hormone
a combination that can encourage eating.

Loss of sleep can even be dangerous.

Insomnia was defined as having any one of the following symptoms:
difficulty falling asleep, waking often during the night, waking up to early in
the morning and being unable to go back to sleep, or even waking up in the
morning feeling unrested.

Over half (58percent) of the poll respondents reported at least one symptom
of insomnia on two or more nights of the week.

Sleep deprivation also results in the loss of sleep benefits for cognitive
processes such as memory and insight formation: the building blocks of
learning, creativity, and scientific discovery.

“It’s the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep”- Dale Carnegie.

Current research shows that loss of sleep is related to weight gain.
Multiple studies show that chronic loss of sleep may increase the risk of
obesity.

“An estimated 40 percent of Americans promise to lose weight in the New Year;
however, almost 90 percent of those who responded to a nationwide survey
reported either occasional or no success losing weight.

According to recent studies published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association and the Lancet, sleep loss tends to increase hunger and affects
the body’s metabolism making it difficult to maintain weight loss or lose
weight.

Restful sleep could be the missing ingredient in your weight loss program and
the answer to losing the weight you want.

A good night’s sleep, each and every night, can help you lose weight.

Health officials say that people should get around eight hours sleep per night
for maximum effect.

In other words, sleep is vitally important to maintaining a healthy body.

America’s sleep habits are simply not healthy.

After all, if you’re experiencing sleepless nights, you can’t afford to spend
hours crawling the Web and searching the health sections of bookshops for
information on sleep treatments.
