Scientists recently published a large study showed that, in some ways in terms of middle-aged women can adjust their sleep time to avoid fat.
16 years in the 68,000 women involved in large-scale study, researchers found that those who sleep more ample women, middle age is not easy to gain weight. For example, during the entire follow-up study, with a daily average of 7 hours of sleep on than women who slept on a daily average of only 5 hours more than women full weight of 15 kg. This shows that a person’s sleep can affect a person’s body weight.
The researchers said that although it is not clear sleep can affect the weight of the specific reasons for a person, but some of the basic explanation is: when a person sleep deprived, their hormones will change, thus affecting their appetite control and metabolism.

Some people think that when a person is sleep deprived, it will because of fatigue, rather than to exercise. But whatever the reasons, the study results have shown that sleep time, middle-aged women, such as a day to maintain in 7 hours or more, you can help prevent weight gain.
Derived from this large-scale research results, and every night can have more than 7 hours of sleep than women, who in 1986 said that every night they sleep only 5 hours of women in the later 16 years, weight gain was substantial growth. The researchers said that despite the length of time from the perspective of 16 years, this rate of weight gain is only moderate, but the magnitude of weight gain have been sufficient to produce changes in health.
For example, when a person’s weight increased by 5 kg, the risk of diabetes also doubled. And those who let their lack of sleep and weight gain of 15 kilograms of women, their access to old age the risk of obesity increased by 15%.
The researchers also found that calorie intake does not necessarily mean that more will lead to weight gain. For example, women who sleep less, usually not a good appetite. In addition, the lack of sleep also seems to reduce the amount of exercise induced weight gain is not the real reason. The researchers said their study only proved that, for those women in terms of lack of sleep every night for 7 hours of sleep time, may be a big increase to prevent the weight of the new method.
