A new study conducted by Brigham and Women's Hospital has found that sleep quality is important if you want your teens to eat healthy food. The researchers found that the longer you sleep, the less calories you eat.

Yup, they found that those who slept less than 8 hours ate 2.2% more calories than those who slept more than 8 hours. So if you want your teens away from burgers and junk food, then have them sleep better!

hi Ching
That is just not true. In fact, there was a 2004 study that showed that too little sleep makes you fat. check out the article here.

More on this:
Those who got less than four hours of sleep a night were 73 percent more
likely to be obese than those who got the recommended seven to nine
hours of rest, scientists discovered. Those who averaged five hours of
sleep had 50 percent greater risk, and those who got six hours had 23
percent more.

It's amazing but this study also found that the average teenager sleeps only 7.5 hours, way less than the recommended 9 hours of sleep!

It's going to be very difficult to have them sleep though. They are much too busy. My 17 year old often complains about insomnia, he just doesn't sleep long enough!

Maybe you could institute no-TV policies in your house. Tell your kids that the TV should be off at a certain hour, this would allow them to look for other activities that would help them relax.

you might want to consider the advice of Potatoes not Prozac, eat a potato before bedtime, and it will be good for your sleep.

I think you have to talk to your teeners about how important sleep is. They think that sleep is a pain, getting in the way of their finishing their video games or interesting chats on Facebook!

I have read the news also, and that's interesting. I sleep six hours a day, much less than the recommended time, but I don't have any weight issue. Is it because I eat too little?

Jeez, when I was a teenager all I wanted to do was sleep, lol.
Naturalist – It's possible. I'm the same way – I don't sleep as much as I should, but I don't eat much either. I really think the key is to just pay attention to our bodies and limit processed/junk food.

Getting an adequate amount of sleep is very important to your health. People who get more sleep are healthier, skinnier, and live longer. Most people don't get even close to enough sleep.

I don't know about any studies that have been done on sleep and overeating, but I know that if I don't get a full night of sleep I eat a lot the next day. Maybe it is just because I am tired and I think eating will keep me awake, but I do eat more if I don't get much sleep.

I've come across a few articles describing a possible relationship between sleep and obesity. There has been a study which suggests that teens who sleep for less than 8 hours have the tendency to take in more fatty food. This may have something to do with the changes in the hormones which control appetite. Such changes occur when someone is sleep-deprived.

I don't think I get enough sleep either. So, when it comes to being obese, does the sleep quality (and quantity) affect adults more or less than it affects teenagers?
