"recent research indicates that there is a connection between how much you weigh and the amount of shut-eye you get per night"It has to do with the O2... people I've known with sleep apnea, who got diagnosed at a sleep disorders clinic, and wound up with one of those nighttime breathing machines, watched the pounds just drop off, and their daytime (and nighttime) breathing improved as a result.
I have never slept, all my life. Even as a child I was up after about 4 or 5 hours.
Today, at the age of 46, I am 40 pounds overweight. Why? Because I spent 10 years eating what I want and not working out.
Now I am back to eating to live and working out. Weight is coming off.
People have to stop kidding themselves. A person is overweight because of too many calories and not enough excersise.
I’m not sure about weight loss and cpap machines. I know at least a dozen people who use those and one of them is not a blimp. However, all of them are lazy and eat too much.
