"Do not most of the bed, you're fat!" Ever heard that phrase? Asian people are the ones who are diligent, we are accustomed to the notion that a lot of sleep the same as lazy. People who get plenty of sleep is equated with laziness, and even equated with a particular animal who always slept all the time. We are also familiar with the normal hours of sleep between 7 to 8 hours, more than that, we might in the cap slacker.
But you know, a study reported by Genius Beauty showed that more than 8 hours of sleep suggested it. In fact, sleeping for 9 hours or more are believed to make a person always in the ideal body weight, avoiding overweight and even obese. It's hard to believe, but that the results of such research.
American scientists from the University of Washington conducted a study on 1088 pairs of twins. They are assessed based on indicators of health and lifestyle. The results suggest that genetic factors have a direct influence on body mass index (BMI). BMI is a measurement scale to assess whether a person's normal weight, underweight to overweight.
With the same gene, the researchers also assessed their long sleep. In the twin pairs, those who slept less than 7 hours per day had twice higher BMI than their twin who slept 9 hours (note: the higher the BMI, the more overweight and even obese).
Dr. Nathaniel Watson who joined in the study explained that lack of sleep creates a sense of 'comfort' in the genes associated with obesity. The results of a study published in the Journal Sleep is still preliminary and require further research. Do you believe in the results of this study and will sleep at least 9 hours every day?
