Sleep less and you'll eat more

Recent studies show that the way you sleep is tightly connected to the way you eat, especially as far as women are concerned.

With that in mind, women who sleep less than six hours per night ate more and less healthy food than women who slept seven hour per night.

A parallel study comes to support these claims after it showed that women on a diet and are eating less food felt more sleepy during the day than those who were not on a restricted diet.

However, bad sleeping habits do not lead only to a disorganized food diet but can have much more serious consequences, as researchers warn. Serious health problems like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity can all be triggered by sleep deprivation.

The fact that we continually ignore our biological rhythm of daytime activities and nightly rest will eventually put its toll on our bodies.

'We are the supremely arrogant species; we feel we can abandon four billion years of evolution and ignore the fact that we have evolved under a light-dark cycle. What we do as a species, perhaps uniquely, is override the clock. And long-term acting against the clock can lead to serious health problems,' warns an Oxford professor.
