Well the point is that sleep increase appetite, but who slept less actually burned more calories. If when you are craving for a snack you go for a carrot instead of pizza I'm sure results would be quite different.
- Periodic 17y agoAccording to the link, those who slept less had an increase in appetite, which is the opposite of what you claim in your first sentence. From the article: > "After the night of abbreviated sleep, the men consumed more than 500 extra calories (roughly 22 percent more) than they did after eight hours of sleep. ... Some studies pin the blame on hormones, arguing that decreased sleep creates a spike in ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite, and a reduction in leptin, which signals satiety." I think what you want to say is that the studies have shown a correlation, but it might not be a causal relation.
