Is Your Lack of Sleep Leading to Extra Pounds?

For years, we have seen how patients’ lack of sleep has attributed to weight gain. When recently speaking to a patient of ours, he mentioned that he lost several pounds after his apnea was treated without making any additional changes to his lifestyle.

Of course, changing lifestyles such as eating habits and activity levels helps contribute to overall health and weight loss, but sleep is often neglected as a very important piece of the weight loss puzzle.

If you are not getting enough sleep, or have untreated apnea or snoring, contact our office to discuss options available to add hours to your sleep, and potentially to help keep off extra pounds.

Here’s a recent article on how lack of sleep can affect your weight. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/06/how-sleep-loss-adds-to-weight-gain/?_r=0
