Just a simple question

If you sleep less but eat the same amount you regularly eat, do you lose weight
because of the energy needed to stay awake? By less, I mean an average of 6
hours a night plus not sleeping one night per week.

I mean, staying up until 3am causes serious hunger. If you don't eat, you
obviously are losing something from the hunger.

I used to lose weight by sleeping more, because when you are sleeping
you aren't eating (or wanting to).

Personally, damaging your health by not getting enough rest isn't
worth it IMHO

There's some weak evidence to suggest that sleep deprivation affects the
metabolisation of carbs adversely. So the opposite may well be true.

Tiredness also generates food esp. carb cravings.

And not getting enough sleep is one of the top three reasons people overeat.
The body knows it needs energy and it translates it into a need for food.
So get your sleep.

You might lose weight, but lack of sleep will also boost your cortisol level
(stress hormone), and this can slow down weight loss. Moreover, sleep
deprivation has strong side effects on mood and mental faculties (especially
the memorization process). It also tends to weaken the immune system.
Besides, you spend more energy sleeping than you do watching TV, so if you
stay awake by watching TV, you're actually spending less energy...
