Speaking from personal experience. I've been on both sides of the fat-loss story, up over 30% body fat and down to 7%. From years of dealing with losing weight, I can strongly support the findings at least for endomorphs like myself. Every time I have a good sleep pattern, it's much easier for my body to lose weight and build muscle. This is very true. Speaking from personal experience.

When I stopped reading in bed and I started to fall asleep easier because now when I get into bed I attempt to to straight to sleep rather than watch TV, etc. If anyone has any other tips they do to get to sleep quickly please leave them here because what works for me may not work for someone else.

I average around 5-6 hours sleep a night, usually broken into 2 or 3 periods and could write a book on all the different recommendations out there for improving sleep. I have gradually put on 3 stone in weight since this sleep problem started some 19 years ago, having up till then been very slim, and like Fiona know of this weight-sleep connection. I am sure that until I can crack the sleep problem, I will always have problems with my weight, so if you have any recommendations re sleep, they will be most welcome.

I try so hard to sleep longer but my body clock always gets me up after 5hrs. I am not tired, I work out 2x with weights, 1x kickboxing for the past 22 mos. Went from a size 10 to a size 4 but can't get my stomach tight, I guess after 4 kids it is tough. I am so tired of people telling me I look tired but I have more energy then them. I wish I can sleep but I can't, I wish I wasn't a carb closet eater, I have been on a low glymeic? way of eating since last April but I can't drop anymore weight. I will try this week your suggestion of loggin my sleep and see what happens. I am 51yrs old I have been living on the max 5hrs sleep every day for years.

I didn't know that about sleep and will definitely take up your suggestion about writing down how much sleep I get over a week period. My hubby has always been a night owl so consequently I stay up with him. It is a rare day that I wake up feeling full of energy, 99% of the time I feel like my head is full of lead weights and I have to drag myself out of bed, it has been like that as long as I can remember - not the best for keeping up with 6 children! I have managed to lose 12 kg with a complete change to the way I eat and work out but the last 10kg are sticking like glue! Definitely going to try more sleep - I'll let you know how I go. Deborah.
