Sleep is very important for the body to function perfectly. So it's no surprise that even how you sleep can affect weight gain or not.

According to Dr. Adrienne Youdim, MD, director at the Weight Loss and Nutrition Center in Beverly Hills, Calif., "Sleep is linked to body weight and greatly affects whether or not to lose weight. A full regimen means more options for balanced weight. " Here's another reason to get more sleepâ?¦

What is the trick that affects weight gain? Dr. Youdim explains: "Recent studies suggest that limited hours of sleep or intermittent sleep aid hunger hormones, leading to the consumption of more carbohydrates and calorie-rich foods such as sweets and fats."

This is one of the reasons that directly affects body weight, so if you're thinking about losing a few pounds, 8 hours of sleep is the most important thing to do every night.
