Sleep

Read Genesis 28-30

Genesis 28:11 "And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep."

It seems logical that the more you stay awake, the more calories you consume and the more weight you lose. Even if you’re not very active for that extra time, you still expend calories.

But any article you read about sleep and weight loss tells a different story. The less sleep you get, the less weight you lose.

Maybe it’s because that extra time is spent eating to try to stay awake and keep your energy levels up—extra calories you don’t even realize you’re eating. But whatever the reason, add getting enough sleep to cutting calories and exercising as the ingredients to effectively losing weight.
