A novel study has revealed that young adults getting inadequate sleep, either in excess or very little, have to battle with the obesity problem sooner or later.
Researchers at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, America, revealed that young adults getting either more than eight hours of sleep or less than six or seven hours are more prone to obesity over a period of five years.
Lead author of the study, Kristen G. Hairston, M.D., M.P.H., assistant professor of endocrinology and metabolism, School of Medicine, Wake Forest University said, “We put a lot of stock in diet. But this study brings up some interesting questions about the way we live.”
