Maintaining and losing weight is about calories in v. calories out, burn more calories each day through activity than calories you take in from food. But the human body is complex and there are a lot of other things helping you, or hurting you, when trying to reach your goals.
Scientists have found that sleep deprivation increases levels of a hunger hormone (ghrelin) and decreases levels of a hormone that makes you feel full (leptin). The effects may lead to overeating and weight gain. With less sleep the hormone for hunger rises in your blood.
Maybe a link to weight gain: Sixty-five percent of Americans are overweight or obese while an estimated 63% of American adults do not get the recommended eight hours of sleep a night.
So, record your favorite shows past 10pm, tire yourself out during the day with intense exercise, have an eating cut off time each night and get a lot of sleep to maximize your fat loss!
