Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Hi folks: I was just watching 20/20 on ABC TV. There was a provocative section where they interviewed what LOOKED LIKE serious people at the University of Chicago. They were saying that the amount of sleep people get regulates levels of ghrelin and leptin in such a way that the less sleep you get the hungrier you will be. They then said that the average amount of sleep americans get per night has fallen in the past 40 years from 8.5 hours to about 7.0. The gist was that the 'obesity epidemic' can be attributed to lack of sleep. jfi. fwiw. wmnbm. How would this fit in with the apparent fact that, as people lose weight transitioning to CR, they find they need less sleep? Rodney.
