Are you using the weekend to make up for lost sleep during the workweek?
.
The following information may help:
.
Experts recommend that adults get 7 or more hours of sleep each night for the sake of their overall health.
.
However, a recent study showed that sleeping in on the weekends to make up for lost sleep during the workweek may lead to increased late night munchies, a lowered response to insulin, and weight gain.
.
So always remember the three pillars of a healthy lifestyle: sleep, exercise and diet. You wouldn’t tell someone to follow their healthy nutrition plan from Monday to Friday, but eat whatever they like on the weekends. So the same principle applies to sleep.

Make it a great day!
