Does anyone know if there is a link between not getting enough sleep and stalling? I have always read that sleep deprivation can cause you to gain weight and/or not lose any but I wonder if that applies to us sleevers. I have lost only one pound since Thanksgiving and since then have been averaging about 4 hours sleep every night. I have never been one to sleep more than 6 to 6 1/2 hours and when I do, I feel groggy all day. Lately, I have not been able to get to bed earlier than midnight and I get up around 4:00 am to get ready for work.

Does anyone have any info on whether this could be causing my stall?

Shae

i don't but i am glad i ran across this because i have been doing the same thing took nyquill last night and slepted like a baby first time since my surgery nov 16th.

Yes, lack of sleep and weigh or obesity and stalling when losing weight can be tied together: You can site the below link and it takes to others also, there are many clinical trials behind these articles.

I am not vouching for every link on this page, of course, but there is alot of information there.

Do not forget diabeties, early onset dimensia, increased chanses of inflammation, lack of focus, depression, and children that are not made to develop regular healthy sleep patterns are less likely to do well in school - that is not all, but dang! I's enough! Lol.
