Sleep and weight loss: Even getting just one more hour of sleep a night may help with weight control.

This video was based on the sleep section in my book, How Not to Diet, which you can learn more about here (https://nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-diet/) (all proceeds go to charity), or check out my presentation based on the book: Evidence-Based Weight Loss (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/evidence-based-weight-loss-live-presentation/).

If you missed the previous video, see Does Lack of Sleep Cause You to Gain Weight? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-lack-of-sleep-cause-you-to-gain-weight/).

The “social jetlag” information I mentioned can be found in The Metabolic Harms of Night Shifts and Irregular Meals (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-metabolic-harms-of-night-shifts-and-irregular-meals/).
