Are you one of those who spend the weekend sleeping a little more, and doing the wee hours from Monday to Friday? Well, scientists are giving us bad news.
Getting little sleep lowers the metabolism, and two days of long sleep between Saturday and Sunday can help us fight work stress, but it does not improve the situation .
Indeed, experts explain, it could even make it worse by upsetting our biological clock.

LITTLE SLEEP LOWERS YOUR METABOLISM, EVEN IF YOU SLEEP IN THE WEEKEND

According to a recent study conducted by Professor Kevin Wright of the University of Colorado, and published in Current Biology, in order not to negatively affect the metabolism, it is necessary to sleep more consistently, that is, every day.

After analyzing the metabolism of 36 adult men, Wright found that even in those who regained sleep lost over the weekend, getting little sleep for most days caused a worsening of insulin sensitivity.
Which results in greater excess weight, greater tendency to eat or crave more sugar and the bad habit of overeating in the evening.
Insulin sensitivity is corrected by sleeping more on weekends, but only on Saturdays and Sundays.
Once you get back to the small hours habit, the situation gets worse point and point.

The advice therefore is to get more sleep on a daily basis, sleeping at least seven hours a night.
If you stay up late in the week thinking that there is a weekend to recover, you are on the wrong road.
