🧑‍⚕️Health You better get some sleep, or prepare to be a FATTY

[Dopious]

90 minutes less sleep per night is all it takes – to make you gain weight and sit more, according to a new study conducted by Columbia University Irving Medical Center, reports Scientific American .

This is not the first time that researchers have linked sleep and weight, writes Scientific American.

Not getting enough sleep is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and other health problems. People who are more sedentary are also at higher risk of developing chronic diseases.

Many of the previous studies that have explored sleep and weight have been conducted in a laboratory setting, usually for a few days, but with significantly greater sleep restrictions. In these studies, participants were allowed to sleep only four hours per night for three days.

This is why I sleep for 12 hours whilst listening to mommy ASMR.

This kind of topic is fascinating. I’m seeing more and more studies showing how badly poor sleep affects people much worse than people originally assumed. It also weakens this immune system and makes people more prone to diseases and conditions, like diabetes. It’s also (obviously) terrible for mental health and chronic stress.

Magnesium has been putting me asleep like a baby after a good feed

Having 8 hours is a mattress company selling point.

We supposed to have broken sleep goes back to a time when we used to get up tend the fire, look for things, and so on.

I know some say it's a myth but it makes sense.

There's no perfect set time.

I've gone without 8+ hours for 20 years I don't sit that much in not exactly fat either

Can you try magnesium for a few weeks for me Winnie

I got magnesium, calcium, vitamin D and zinc in one tablet

There's much better purchases on the likes of bulk.com for the same thing just 180 capsules/tablets for about twice the price of my 30 tablets

I think creatine is knocking me out too, I always had great experiences with creatine and the brain

Amla tea helped me a lot, basically my whole sleep cycle / hours shifted and now I fall asleep really easily

In my opinion, a lack of sleep is one of the biggest factors contributing to health issues. That's why I always try to get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep.

I think 6 hours is perfect. And it should be at though.
