This study was published in the ‘International Journal of Obesity’.

They calculated the body fat and weight of 1986 individuals for a year.

It was based on a low-calorie Mediterranean diet, physical activity, and behavior therapy. All those who did not follow a common pattern of sleep for the number of hours every night lost less weight and all those who followed the strict sleep for hours lost enough weight. This prevents other metabolic disorders associated with the excess weight and fat of the body.
