TRUE! Think about it this way: When
you're sleep deprived, you don't feel energized. And neither does the
rest of your body... which means less energy for efficiently burning
calories. A recent study
found that sleeping for more than 9 hours a night could suppress
genetic influences on weight and favorably affect BMI (body mass index).
On the flip side, getting less than 7 hours of shut-eye had the
opposite effect. Another study
found that merely viewing junk food while sleep deprived activated
reward centers in a person's brain -- more so than those who got a
sufficient amount of sleep -- which could make said food harder to
resist. Rest is important, people!
