Research at Columbia University confirmed that bad people are exposed to precipitating overeating.

How sleepy and hungry people are not picky about food - it is discovered PhD Marie-Pierre St-Onge and his colleagues at the New York Center for Scientific Research on Obesity.

»Short sleep can cause you binge» - so St. Onge commented on her e-mail to the editor Of-Md. »Keep this in mind when trying to control your weight.»

St-Onge and her colleagues were controlledObserving 13 men and 13 women for 6 days on two parameters. In the first case, the subjects spent nine hours in a bed on a luxurious mattress (such models you will find in the store MatraSon (http://matrason.ua/)). In a second - sleeping only four hours.

Within four days, all the people ate the same. On the fifth day they were allowed to eat whatever they choose.

On the day when the study participants were notsleep, they have used 300 calories more a day than when they slept well. Most of them went the extra calories from foods containing saturated fats.

Women are particularly vulnerable to overeating whenThey are tired. Tired woman ate 328.6 extra calories, while men - only 262.7 calories. Women are more likely to choose fatty foods when tired, but the men in it too far away from them are gone.

Five additional hours to eat,Could not one of the subjects to use this time for additional meal? St. Onge did not think so. Only seven of the 26 participants ate after waking up.

Further search - she said, may explain the relation between the duration of sleep and obesity.

Our data show that the reduction of sleep time increases the intake of fat, which helps to explain some dependence on the duration of sleep obesity.

Finally, Saint-Onge and her colleagues added: »If the people to adhere to the chosen diet does not fill up, it leads to obesity and the risk of cardiovascular disease.»

St-Onge and her colleagues presented their findings at a conference on the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, held in March 22-25 this year in Atlanta.
