You may feel you have run a diet program correctly, but your appetite is not reduced, so the weight does not go down. What is wrong? Surely your sleep. If you sleep less than seven hours each night, your weight loss efforts will be significantly hampered. Lack of sleep has been shown to make you eat more and consume carbohydrates that contribute to weight gain.
The modern lifestyle does affect everyone's sleeping habits. A large survey of 1960 found that at that time the average person slept between 8-9 hours a night. What about now? From the opinion of the National Sleep Foundation found that people now only sleep about 7 hours on average.
This significant decrease in quantity of sleep is consistent with an increase in the amount of obesity over the last 50 years. In addition to certain medical or mental health problems (including sickness and depression), here are four factors that can prevent you from getting a good night's sleep, and you should improve immediately:
Noisy environment

A study of 2014 in the journal Sleep found that the inability to cope with stressful events is associated with higher insomnia in a group of healthy adults. To overcome this, maybe you need to practice yoga or meditation to make your body relax.
Move less

Because we have shifted from industrial society to data society, which lets people sit on their assignments. It binds the body to be less primed to rest before bed. A survey conducted National Sleep Foundarion shows that only 10 minutes of exercise a day can increase the duration and quality of your sleep.
Electronic devices
According to the National Sleep Foundation, more than 90 percent of Americans use their electronic devices an hour before they sleep. You may do the same, can not get out of the gadget. And this is what makes your sleep hours reduced or disturbed. The blue light emitted from this device is very problematic.
