New Study Analyzes How Sleep Deprivation Affects Energy Intake and Weight Gain

A recent study investigated the effects of sleep deprivation on energy intake, energy expenditure, and weight gain. The study found that when individuals were sleep deprived and only slept four hours a night, they consumed on average 308 more calories per day. These additional calories mainly came from fat and protein. The authors of the study noted that the reasons behind this increase in calorie consumption are not fully understood.
