Indeed. Optimal sleep and low stress will not only make hormones more favorable to burning fat but also to appetite regulation.
Tired people overeat in a way rested people do not.
Not to mention the massive benefits they provide to muscle generation and overall fitness. You can lift every day but if you don't sleep, recover and eat enough protein it ain't going to bring results.
Absolutely. You know what you do in your sleep? Rest, rebuild muscle, and not eat.
The vast majority of calories being used by our bodies is spent just existing. Big ape brains use a lot of em.
More sleep, less eating, shed them calories.

You also exhale CO2, which is the primary way we lose weight. Burned fat mostly comes out as water and CO2.
Definitely. Now, if there weren't insomnia...
THC 5mg
Melatonin
THC hinders REM sleep. Melatonin supplementation negatively impacts Melatonin production of the body.
No, I think getting the everyday stress level down and finding room for workout again is the solution but it's not easy.
Super small sample but most people in my family, like all but three, have suffered from insomnia. The majority went to the doctor and got pills or self medicated with alcohol and weed. Their lives get worse and worse. They still suffer from insomnia. A few of us changed our lives until the insomnia subsided. I got a divorce, my brother changed jobs, my aunt moved to a different state. Our insomnia went away and were are all better for the changes we made after the initial difficulties.
Drawing out an intolerable situation is harder than changing it in the long run. Sounds like you agree. More power to you and good luck.
Me who has a terrible sleep cycle
Bold of you to assume that I can't be stressed while laying in bed.
Good exercise also helps sleep though
I think excessive sleeping also cause weight gain
Can't gain weight if you never eat. Stay asleep and just cause your body to enter a state of endlessly losing and gaining equal weight. It's like time travel but only forward!
Time travels face bags am's dildoes
I'm more of a pelvic thrust mace belt kinda guy.
It doesn't "cause it" in the sense that you must eat to gain weight.
The laws of thermodynamics will not be denied by a nap.
However, your passive caloric consumption is lessened at rest, so sleeping too much without changing your diet will absolutely lead to more fat being stored from the excess calories.
Think of it like this: if your current weight is stable, you are at caloric equilibrium. If you change that equation, in any way, you will eventually reach a new equilibrium.
You're burning less calories? More will be stored (as fat).
You're taking in less calories? Fat cells take calories to maintain. Excess fat will burned until a new equilibrium is reached.
But the equation that is the human metabolism is complicated. Cortisol causes weight gain by increasing appetite, aka, "stress eating."
You very well might "lose weight by sleeping" if more sleep helps fix unhealthy eating habits by removing stress.
Tl;Dr Calories in=calories out is a fact of universal law. Where it gets complicated is managing appetite and passive burn.
That's why you nap dinner away
That's really just if you eat a large meal before sleeping. You actually burn a decent amount of calories while sleeping.
Don't take dietary advice from people named after chocolate bars.
