I’ve read a lot lately about how lack of sleep can affect weight loss and gain. Those magazine articles always interest me because I haven’t slept a full night since the day I lit up with my first hot flash.
Seriously.
Any woman past age 50 reading this is probably nodding right now because she knows what I’m talking about.
To find out how much of what I’d been reading was fact or fiction, I talked with Dr. Gabe Tallent, medical director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Erlanger.
“There’s no question that sleep issues, sleep deprivation or disturbed sleep all interfere with weight loss and even contribute to weight gain,” he said.
