When a doctor swore to an editor at Glamour magazine that he could help women lose weight just by making over their sleep habits, the magazine staff was dubious. Research has linked lack of sleep to weight gain, but certainly weight loss requires hard work, diet and exercise – right? They decided to put it to a test. So sleep experts Michael Breus, Ph.D., and Steven Lamm, M.D., created a plan for seven Glamour readers of varying weights, asking them to get at least seven and a half hours of sleep a night. That was all. In fact, they asked the women not to make any significant diet or exercise changes to see if sleep and sleep alone would make a difference. Did it ever! At the end of 10 weeks, the women had lost 6 to 15 pounds. Finding the time for extra sleep every night proved tough for some, but even those who didn’t follow the plan exactly noticed inches disappearing from waist, bust and hips.
