Hungry? Get More Sleep.
Monday October 15, 2007
Sleep and obesity are closely linked. It's an endless cycle. People who don't get enough sleep, face changes in their blood chemistry that lead to an increased appetite. As they gain weight, they are more likely to suffer from sleep apnea and other sleep problems - causing an increase in appetite and more weight gain.
What happens is that during sleep leptin (a hormone that tells that brain you're "full") and ghrelin (the "hungry hormone") are regulated. If you don't have enough sleep, the balance between your "full hormone" (leptin) and your "hungry hormone" (ghrlein) becomes disrupted. In short - you have 18% less leptin and 28% more ghrlein when sleep is cut from 8 hours to 4 hours a night. This causes appetites to spike.
In one study, participants' sleep was cut back and they had a major spike (24%) in their cravings for sweets, cookies, chips and other snack foods.
If you are trying to lose weight, be sure that more sleep is part of your plan.
sighs..no findings on how come one can sleep so much and still be hungry all the time. someone help? is it zollinger-ellison's?

omg exams are finally here! what a long wait. seriously i would rather take 3 papers in a day and get it over and done with in 2 days. but i'm sure the rest of the classmates will protest.
i hate long study breaks. keep thinking you have time and drag to the last min. and then i will be at a damn disadvantage cuz i'm super lazy. and pple who are hardworking, or just plain hardworking will surpass me like crazy. hmph~
anyway it's been a long wait to my darling's return too. enjoyed gaming with him overseas...though cannot see each other but gaming together and continuing to suan each other over the game and stupid deaths we experienced felt like he is just two mrt stops away at his house gaming with me.
it was fun. we trained ytd, after which i came home to study one hour. *applause pls..ONE HOUR!* then after that we went met up, and i brought his gifts from overseas up, then we went amk to look for wii games and arcade! then wanted to eat the prata there but too late it was closed le. in the end came back to my downstairs coffeeshop to supper- prawn paste chicken plus shen1 mian4. $11.50 omg..
and today after my exam i went to teach tuition. my friends were like 'are you serious you still got mood for tuition?!' no choice leh. she also having exam ma. must help her. if not prepared to keep to your schedule of once per week during exam time then you better dont be tutor. after that was dinner at my house downstairs again. this time it's some big big, and i mean really big big omelete the size of the whole plate! inside got char siew, ONIONS (lots-urgh), spring UNIONs...not fantastic. then we had beef hor fun with super hot chili, and lastly you tiao with sigh paste and mayo..yummy! after which went to my house to put the groceries i bought..and off to amk again. this time to shop~! walked around got some nice and cheap shoes which i intend to buy for internship. comfy too! then went to eat our prata and a chicken that costs $4. wth man. haiz. teh halia there is $1.80 *faintz*
and finally to the arcade!!!! played house of the dead and then bball! omg guess what's my score? it's 225! not bad leh...*applause again pls* i'm good at the bball but my darling is fantastic at gunpoints. OMG bai fa bai zong! not a marksman for nothing. pei fu pei fu.
another day has passed. it's soon time for me to study like my classmates. OMG i'd better. lolz..
