I've heard that sleep is an essential part of losing weight. There is an article from Psychology Today which says you actually burn more calories sleeping. I was listening to a radio interview the other day in which a woman lost 7 pounds in 10 weeks just by getting enough sleep. I've gained quite a bit of weight since I started my new job, and I think it's partially to do with cutting back on sleep. I'm still getting between 7 and 8 hours most nights, but I think I need about 8.5. So I'm going to try to get to bed earlier (since unfortunately I can't sleep in any later because of work) and see if I start losing weight.
Oh and by the way, the weigh in this week was 160.8.
