Who would’ve thought that being still can actually HELP you lose weight? No, I don’t mean sitting on the sofa and being a couch potato, I’m talking about giving your body time to rest and recover from workouts. A proper night’s rest can also help prevent overeating throughout the day.
According to Women’s Health, here are a few ways sleep can help you lose weight:
It Stops Late-Night Snacking
The longer you’re awake, the more likely you are to consume calories you don’t need.
It Helps You Burn More Calories
Not only do you have more energy to take on the day after a good night’s sleep, but your body also torches calories, even when you’re not working out.
It Keeps Your Brain Focused
Let’s admit it, lack of sleep not only turns you into a grouch, it also compromises your focus.
