Sleeping an extra hour per night could help a person lose weight 14 pounds in a year, according to a University of Michigan researcher who made the figures for an intake of 2,500 calories per day. His scenario shows that when sleep replaces inactive activities and habitual meaningless snacks, you can reduce calories effortlessly by 6%. The results will vary for each person, but sleeping can also help in another way. There is evidence that sleeping less than 7 hours increases your appetite, which makes you feel hungry.
