Ok, this is new. Lack of sleep may lead to excess weight. Given that I am up since 4am today, I suppose I have a good excuse. I particularly like the explanation:
"The metabolic regulatory system may have evolved to motivate humans to store fat during summer months when the nights are shorter and food is plentiful, which was a survival mechanism for the body to prepare for the dark winter months when food would not be as plentiful," said James Gangwisch, a post-doctoral fellow in psychiatric epidemiology at Columbia University.So whoever gives me the extra workload, I can legitimately say, "You're killing me!"
