That's probably the most surprising bit - that sleeping an extra 52 minutes is equivalent to NOT sitting for an extra 56 minutes (in reducing your BMI by 7.4%)

So -- if you're sitting down, you are better off going all the way to sleep?? That is definitely not intuitive! Or is that only for extending the 'full night' of sleep?
I suppose if you are sitting and awake, you can still eat food, whereas when you're asleep you are probably not eating.

Less sleep makes you hungrier, more stressed (more fat storage) and less able to exercise. https://www.sleepfoundation.org/physical-health/obesity-and-sleep https://www.sleepfoundation.org/physical-health/obesity-and-...
