The author is wrong that sleeping more just gives less time for eating. Truth is that sleeping more reduces insulin resistance, increases testosterone production in males and puts leptin under control. All three reduce carb craving, push us towards meat and fat and increase natural fat burning.
- rdiddly 10y agoThank you. Getting plenty of sleep also lowers levels of "stress hormones" like cortisol, which tend to promote fat storage. Which is sort of what those hormones are for. It's easy to see how ancient humans or proto-humans who had this tendency to store extra calories during times of stress, would've had survival/evolutionary advantages. Therefore don't mimic times of high stress by shorting yourself on sleep!
