As it turned out, problems with sleep can affect the shape.
British scientists have found that people who sleep less than six hours a day, high risk of obesity and diabetes.
The study involved 1,615 aged 25 to 45 years. Experts conducted a survey and inspection, during which found out how long the volunteers slept, and made notes of their eating habits. The results showed that those who slept an average of 6:00 in the night, had 3 cm more waist circumference than those who slept about 9:00 at night. In addition, people with shorter sleep duration had a low level of HDL cholesterol, also known as cholesterol helps remove fat from the blood and protect from heart disease.

“The number of people with obesity worldwide has more than doubled since 1980. Obesity contributes to the development of many diseases, primarily type II diabetes. Understanding the reasons why people gain weight, has important implications for public health.”
And since it is now clear that the lack of sleep the person is likely to have overweight or tendency to obesity, the researchers emphasize – it is necessary to sleep seven to nine hours a day at night time to avoid negative consequences for your health.
