</script><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Obesity has become a serious problem around the world especially in countries such as the UK and America. Although we know overeating and lack of exercise can increase the chances of a person becoming obese, it has now been reported a lack of sleep can also put weight onto a person. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">With the rise in obesity, scientists have been doing a lot of studies to find ways of beating obesity and find why some people put on more weight than others. As part of the research, it was found that a person who has a lack of sleep compared to a person who has a good night sleep would put on more weight. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The scientists found that we need a minimum of seven hours of unbroken sleep per night. If we do not receive seven hours sleep, then our bodies could increase its weight, and long-term lack of sleep could stop a person from losing weight even if they were on a diet. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The advice most doctors and weight loss experts give their clients and patients have now changed. Instead of advising people to eat healthy to lose weight and to exercise at least twenty minutes a day, they are also advising people to sleep well. It is also recommended not to eat after 7pm at night as this could also put weight on a person and could affect the way a person sleeps. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">These recent studies are helping to fight obesity, but it is not only obesity the results are helping to fight. By sleeping for seven hours a night, a person’s health can improve, showing the importance of getting early nights sleep. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Researchers have cautioned against being too quick to promote sleep as an answer to the obesity problems. It was due mainly the shortcomings of the research conducted to date. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">But from a health perspective, there is so little risk in encouraging healthy sleep through lifestyle changes from having a consistent bedtime to no high-tech distractions in the bedroom when it is time for you to sleep . </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Good sleep habits have many other benefits such as having alertness at school or work, lesser mood swings, and overall enhancing your quality of life. That’s all the more reason to put a long night’s sleep on the short list for obesity prevention.
