Ever wondered why dieting and exercise don't always achieve weight loss? The answer is simple - sleep. By sleeping more, you can actually lose weight. Recently, Australia was listed as one of the fattest nations on earth, with almost 70% of the population overweight. With our hectic lifestyles we're sleeping far less than previous generations, and it is only recently that scientists have begun to discover how sleep and weight are fundamentally connected. In this accessible, informative and ground-breaking book, Dr Carmel Harrington explores the fascinating science behind this link, and demonstrates how sleep is the key for successful weight loss. This book not only presents the research, but provides simple rules, as well as a detailed program on how to lose weight permanently and improve your health by getting more sleep.
