Usually we keep a healthy diet and do regular exercises to lose weight. However, do you know that sleeping can also contribute to losing weight? Yes, you hear me. Some ways of sleeping can help to lose weight indeed. Here meizitang botanical slimming will introduce this special way of losing weight to you.

Sleeping is the common and natural resting state of mammals, birds and fish, even invertebrates. The features of sleeping include reduction of active body movements, decrease of reaction to outside environment as well as the close of eyes. As for human beings, sleeping will take up about one third of the whole lifetime, so we can say that the quality of life depends on the quality of sleeping. Healthy adults need 7-8 hours of sleep per day and for teenagers 9 hours is necessary. Enough sleep can restore the body strength and brain power as well as relieve tension in order to improve one’s memory. Lack of sleep will bring a series of problems.

In order to arouse people’s attention to the importance of sleeping quality, International Mental Health and Neural Science Foundation declared 21st of the July every year as the World Sleeping Day in 2001. This day is the first day of spring, which is the vernal equinox when the day will equal the night. After this day, the day will become longer and the night shorter and, as we know, the quality of sleep is closely related to the alternation of day and night. In 2003, the China Sleep Research Society brought in this holiday. The theme of World Sleep Day in 2010 is “good sleep, healthy life”.

Recently, the obesity problem has become an increasing concern. In accordance with the carrying out of the research about the relation between sleep and obesity, we will know more about the research results. Here meizitang will share with you some of the valuable research results. The time of sleep had a positive correlation with the weight, especially for those teenagers. This positive correlation will fade away with the increase of age. If one is deprived of sleep, 18% of the leptin secretion will be reduced and 28% of the growth hormone will be increased. As a result, it is easy to feel hungry and the appetite will be increased greatly. Therefore, we can see that too much or less sleep will both result in obesity problems.
