Drop pounds, pick up sleep: Troubled sleepers who shed roughly 10 pounds reported snoozing more soundly than their heavier counterparts, reports new Finnish research.
Moderately obese people suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, a disorder that causes you to stop breathing for seconds or minutes, who lost 5 percent of their body weight—an average of 11 pounds—and kept it off saw less sleep disruption, less snoring, and less daytime drowsiness.
Losing weight reduces the amount of fat tissue in your throat and nasal cavity when you lie down, which allows you to breathe better, says lead researcher Henri Tuomilehto, M.D., Ph.D. Shedding pounds also improves chronic inflammation in your organ systems, which can help your respiration.
