Sleep loss Weight loss

From sone articles that I have been reading, it seems that the nights I am roaming around not sleeping are also affecdting my ability to loose these last 10 lbs. Vewry interesting Right?
There seems to be a hormone that is rrleased when a person is stressed. When we do not sleep this hormone continues to relase making us feel hungry.
When we do not sleep, we do not get the deep sleep that our bodies need for the growth which in turn efffects the ability to lose fat. What---have to do some more research on this.
Loss of sleep leads to increased storage of fats at a higher level therefore increasing the blood sugar. Not good people.
Lack of sleep--lack of energy--lack of burning calories!!

Now can your understand WHY we need SLEEEEP?
Here are a few Do's that I have found to help me:
Eat healthy
Exercise but not right before bed
Pre-bedtime rituals..you did them with your own children or they where done for you when child warm bath,calm music, the bedtime story??
Peaceful sleep area
Sleep instead of squeezing more into your day

Eat if hungry but a very light snack. The goal ofcourse is to sleep and reduce the stress that comes with not sleeping.
