Instead, thought it was the opposite. Less sleep means spending a bit more energy (although far fetched though). I think at the end of the day it's mostly what you input and output. Less food, more exercise or energy spending activities and weight should be manageable.</p> http://www.starling-fitness.com/archives/2008/10/25/the-facts-about-sleep-and-obesity/#comment-209428 Barbara Ortagus Sun, 26 Oct 2008 03:27:37 +0000 http://www.starling-fitness.com/?p=2132#comment-209428 <p>Oh my goodness, for someone with sleep apnea that would be a terrible viscious circle. My husband has sleep apnea which is made worse with him being overweight. He is tired all the time and needs more sleep to just get by. It is terrible to think that the extra sleep is actually making his condition worse!</p>
