Does how much sleep you get really matter? (like weight and health)?

Question:

I have gotten to the point that even though i am tired and could fall asleep easily. i dont go to bed. i just stay up. and during the school year i stay up and end up gettin about 4 to 6 hours of sleep a night. and in the summer i sleep in till like 2 or 3 which sometimes that means 10 to 12 hours of sleep. I was wondering if maybe thats making me gain weight or like if i sleep better if that will affect me trying to lose weight?

Answers:
yes, if you do not get enough sleep you can gain weight. this is because when your asleep alot of your body shuts down. one of these if the function to eat. this is why if you have 12 hours sleep you are not starving. if you missed 12 hours in the day you would be hungary. when you sleep also, in the subconsious state you tend to lose a lot of skin, you relly wouldn't be able to grasp how much. however if you are awake most of the day you don't lose so much skin. that's why if you weigh your self before you go to bed and when you wake up there will be a slight difference. if getting little sleep is an ongoing thing then the weight can make a difference.

sleep can also effect your complexion. little sleep will resolve in the likelyhood of gettinf a lot of spots, black heads greasy skin etc. this is because while sleeping because a lot of you bodies functions have shut down you body can focus on other things. one of these things is cooling down your internal body, not so that you get cold but it helps things like spots. it sort of cleans the inside of your body, so that all you've got to do is wash the outside

also if you are awake a lot of the time your body gets little rest resulting in grumpyness and headaches, other parts of your body can ache to, especially your eyes.

one thing that may shock you, a wide spread global survey was undertaken a few years ago and it was found that if you have little sleep you are more lightly to get a heart related disease. it is adviced that you get atleast 8 hours sleep to keep your body healthy. remember that is the minimum, the more sleep the better

good luck

Thats a really good question, i been wondering that myself.
I heard the more you sleep the better.

There are no requirements for the body to get certain number of sleep. Everything depends on your sleep cycle. It consist of 90 minutes which is 60 minutes when you fall asleep, 20 actually sleeping and dreaming and 10 minutes when the brain is waking up... Your cycle extends each cycle you sleep. If you will get up in those 10 minutes when your brain wakes up you'll be very rest. If you will wake up with alarm clock in the middle of 20 minutes while you are dreaming you will feel tired through the whole day ! So only you have to do just find the top of your cycle those 10 minutes. You have to go to sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time... You will feel rest even if you will sleep just couple hours... you just have to experience with your sleep cycle
