This article talks about the risks of gaining weight due to lack of sleep. At first I thought the article meant that if I didn't sleep enough I would immediately gain weight and if I do sleep enough I would lose weight so I was like "Oh Sweet!" However, after I read the article, i realized it was more about how your hormones function if not enough rest is given. Instead of gaining and losing weight just by sleeping, your body actually releases hormones that will increase your appetite and therefore completely put your body into a mode where it relies on energy from sugary snacks only. The minute I read this I thought to myself, "I could totally elate to this." People like me are the victims in the articles. The lack of sleep not only does it mean we don't have energy to exercise it also means that to keep us awake we have to keep eating. The worse thing is even if you have a healthy diet, if you didn't sleep enough your body weight wouldn't be stable. After reading the article I realize that SLEEPING is the first step to losing weight.
