Many studies show that if you feed the same people and exercise the same exercise, those who sleep (who sleep 5.5 hours or less a day) lose about 55% of their body fat compared to those who sleep at least 8 hours a day. Imagine this - you can actually burn more fat just by sleeping more. How is that possible? Read on to find out.
There are at least three factors that facilitate a good fat burning process.
First and foremost, it is known that you make the most human growth hormone at night, but only if you are sleeping (and more importantly, especially if you sleep between 10am and 2am!). This hormone, known for its earrings, not only helps you build muscle tissue but also protects your muscles. And, as we've heard, the more muscles your body carries, the more fat it burns.
Second, when you are sleep-deprived (and especially if you wake up between 10pm and 2am), your body produces excess volume cortisol, at the wrong time. Cortisol is a stress hormone and it triggers a process that burns muscle tissue, slows down metabolism and promotes fat storage. In other words, cortisol regulates your protein breakdown and subsequent conversion to fat. So you really want to sleep at night to avoid excessive cortisol production at the wrong time. (NB: You need cortisol, of course, but early in the morning so you can have the energy to move).
And last but not least, when you sleep well at night, your body produces melatonin which, as shown in a recent study published in Malaysia Pineal Research Journal, is a powerful fat burner. Melatonin is another hormone, and it practically enhances brown adipose tissue (that is, good fat) that works in the same way as your muscle tissue because it burns white adipose tissue (that is, fatty fat). In fact, melatonin helps to boost your metabolic rate. In addition, melatonin has been recognized as a powerful anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory agent. But you can only produce it at night and only when you are sleeping!
So, if you want to look good and feel good, go to bed early and treat yourself to a good night's sleep. Stay late and you will gradually turn into a fat ball.
