Do you wonder why Jennifer Lopez looks fabulously youthful even without drastic exercise programs to get weight loss? JLo’s secret can be shared and attained. Jennifer Lopez looks slim and a decade younger than her real age as she gets 8 hours of sleep nightly.

Researchers claimed having sufficient sleep helps a woman not to feel tired and act refreshed. As such, the body burns up calories and the person is less inclined to be obese or overweight.

A tired body in the daytime does not metabolize food effectively and this leads to weight gain, increased risk of diabetes and heart disease.

In the UK,
19% adults get 8 hours of sleep,
16% get 6 hours or less,
The rest of the 65% get between 6 to 8 hours of sleep.

Studies done in the US and Japan showed that women who have sufficient quantities of sleep at above 7 hours each night experienced weight loss. The women lost between 3 to 15 pounds.

How to get uninterrupted sleep and encourage weight loss:
1.) Don’t drink caffeine after 6 pm.
2.) No exercise before bedtime.
3.) Avoid excess alcohol.
4.) Don’t watch TV in bed as it encourages disrupted sleep.
5.) Don’t take medicines containing caffeine.
