Research from 2019
Back in 2019, Dr. Michael Breus wrote an article confirming the research data around the connection between sleep and weight loss. It was an extensive study, based on 120,000 people, over a 20-year period. The findings provided additional evidence on the benefit of gaining a full night’s sleep, with regard to weight loss.
Research from 2022
The Daily Telegraph recently featured details of a new study led by Professor Esra Tasali at the University of Chicago Medical Centre. It demonstrated that going to bed 75 minutes earlier each night helps you consume 270 fewer calories each day. That is significant, of course, if you are trying to lose weight. Daily Telegraph.

Also, in 2022, researchers at the Mayo Clinic, in Minnesota, conducted a study, and published their findings in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. It was no great surprise that the group of people who were only allowed to sleep for 4 hours per night consumed more calories than the control group. However, the greatest discovery was that they had gained a substantial amount of dangerous abdominal, or visceral fat, around their organs, during the study period.
Lead researcher, Dr Vinred Somers, stated: ‘Normally, fat is preferentially deposited subcutaneously or under the skin. However, the inadequate sleep appears to redirect fat to the more dangerous visceral compartment. So, in the long term, these findings implicate inadequate sleep as a contributor to the epidemics of obesity, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.’

The research data was also in line with what we have known for many years. When you’re tired, suffering from a lack of sleep, the body provides additional ghrelin, the hunger hormone. The body simultaneously produces less leptin, the ‘I feel full’ hormone. It creates a perfect storm for the dieter. So, what’s going on? Why do people who fail to get a good night’s sleep tend to be predisposed to being overweight? Well, in addition to the effects on the two hormone levels mentioned above, there are a few other factors coming into play.
Why Sleeping More Helps in Weight Loss
As the research confirmed, tiredness doesn’t just make you hungrier. A sleep-deprived body also struggles to remove glucose from the person’s circulating blood. This results in the food you eat making you fatter than if you had eaten the same food whilst well-rested. Sleep helps your body remove excess fat and allows your metabolism to run smoothly. Most people instinctively understand the effect of sleep on our eating habits. It influences what we eat, how much we eat, and how our bodies metabolise it.
Don’t be Sleep Deprived
When we’re tired, we naturally tend to give in to temptation; our reserves of willpower are exhausted. We have extra time to think about food and what we are going to eat. With your judgement and willpower on the floor, you are much more likely to grab the chocolate, or the burger, without even thinking, almost as a reward for being so tired.
There’s More…
Willpower restores itself during sleep. Many believe that willpower is like a hormone, and its reserves dwindle as the day goes on. And only sleep can replenish it. Research shows that people trying to stop smoking, or to lose weight, as an example, normally cave in during the evening, around 8.00pm. This is when their level of the willpower hormone has been expended.
Eat Earlier
For those who want to make their weight-loss efforts as pain-free as possible, they should move their food intake into the earlier part of the day. Our metabolism works differently depending on the time. When we’re awake, our body burns calories. But when we sleep, it moves into calorie saving-mode – a hibernation strategy. This is part of our natural Circadian Rhythm. Additional content from an article by Professor Russell Foster Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute, University of Oxford.

Healthline website suggests eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help with weight loss. This aligns with your circadian rhythm and allows your body to digest your food more efficiently. Also, Forbes.com explains the science behind the circadian rhythm diet, or the “body clock diet”. This involves only eating during daylight hours and fasting for the remaining hours to promote successful weight loss.
Find a Healthy Balance
So you need to get just the right amount of good quality sleep, and eight hours is believed to be the optimum amount for most people. If you cannot manage to squeeze in the required sleep into your working week, then topping it up over the weekend can go some way towards helping you to balance it out. You may also be interested to read our blog post explaining how you can boost your metabolism naturally.
Do you have trouble sleeping
If you have problems falling off to sleep, there are a number of things you can try, such as ensuring that your bedroom is dark, for example. You should also limit your exposure to ‘blue’ light (iPhones, tablets etc) before going to bed. A relaxing soak in a warm bath can be beneficial for many people. Sometimes people will use alcohol to aid sleep. This may help you drop off quickly, but unfortunately, the poor quality of the sleep you experience under the influence of alcohol will create a negative factor.
Sleep is Really Important
People who develop a healthy balance around sleep tend to be slimmer and often healthier than people who don’t. This is because sleep helps in the prevention of a range of chronic diseases and obesity. Sleep is responsible for helping your immune system to work at the highest level. On the other hand, a lack of sleep can increase the chances of developing such diseases as heart disease, diabetes, and depression. Finding a healthy balance between work and sleep is never easy, but if you want to lose weight, you need everything to work in your favour.

Below is a selection of weight-loss tips that everyone can start using straight away. And, if you enroll in the My Weigh Less Course, you will learn many more of our helpful tips and techniques about how to achieve successful, permanent weight loss.
Tip No. 1 – Only Eat When You’re Hungry!
This has to be our number one, golden rule, when it comes to achieving successful weight loss. In our experience, most overweight people eat for many different reasons, other than physical hunger. But, if you allow your emotions to control your eating habits, then it is unlikely that you will be able to control your weight as a result. So, before you reach for anything to eat, stop and ask yourself first if you physically NEED to eat, or you just WANT to…
Tip No. 2 – Use a Smaller Plate!
You’ve probably heard this many times before, but it’s a fact that people who use larger plates tend to eat more food than those who eat from smaller plates. No doubt you know about the power of optical illusions. But are you aware of just how much more generous the same size portion of food appears, when presented on a smaller plate, instead of a larger one? Have a look at the image below. It’s known as the Delboeuf optical illusion. If you stick to our mantra, “always go for quality over quantity”, then you will definitely lose weight much more easily.
Tip No. 3 – Drink a Glass or Two of Water Before Your Meal!
Reduce Your Calorie Intake by over 20%, with almost with no effort! Research results, published by Harvard Medical showed that people who drank two large glasses of water, just before eating, consumed, on average, around 20% less food compared with when they didn’t drink anything before they ate. This is possibly as a result of the stretching and fullness sensation in the stomach.
Tip No. 4 – Eat Slowly and Mindfully!
A growing number of studies have consistently found a correlation between speed of eating and weight, so it is officially accepted now that faster eaters are definitely more likely to become overweight. Studies have also shown that people are much more likely to eat more when their eating is mindless, as opposed to mindful. So, make meal times an occasion by sitting down at a table, with no distractions. Then eat slowly and savour every mouthful. You will naturally eat less food and also find it easier to lose weight as a result!
Tip No. 5 – Stay Away From Sugar and Highly Processed Foods!
It’s a fact that sugar and highly processed foods have addictive properties! So much so, that many people find that once they start eating these foods, they literally can’t stop. And, of course, if you’re making such poor food choices, this in turn will make it almost impossible for you to lose weight. So, our advice is to choose healthy, unprocessed foods and limit the amount of sugar you consume. As a result, you will have far more control over how much you eat and also how much weight you can lose.
Tip No. 6 – Eat Your Favourite Foods on the Plate First!
You may not be aware of how important this tip is, but the order in which you eat your food can actually have a big impact on how much you consume! It’s quite common for overweight people to “save the best til last” when eating. In other words they only eat their favourite food right at the end. It’s not so surprising then, that they also tend to eat everything on their plate, regardless of how uncomfortably full they feel. Because, of course, they don’t want to miss out on the “best bit”!
However, our advice is to eat your favourite things first. Not only will you enjoy it more, but it’s also much easier to stop when you’ve eaten just the right amount and leave the rest on the plate.
