If you’re a short sleeper, you’re averaging five hours or less a night. This sleep pattern is tied to increased hunger and weight gain. Totally opposite of what happens when you sleep 7-9 hours a night.

I'll talk about these five benefits to your body after surgery of a good night’s sleep…I’m talking 7 or more hours:

  1. Sleep improves food restraint
  2. Sleep improves control over hunger and affects certain hormones
  3. Sleep improves control over portion sizes
  4. More sleep means fewer eating occasions
  5. Sleep fights stress and stress eating
