Study: Children and Obesity – Due to lack of Sleep. Fibromyalgia Sufferers Can Benefit Too!

Forsyth County, Alpharetta-Cumming Chiropractor and Fibromyalgia Doctor Comments:

300px-Anker_Schlafender_Knabe_im_HeuI’ve been treating Fibromyalgia for the past 17 years here at South Forsyth Chiropractic in the Alpharetta-Cumming area.  Part of my counseling consists of sleeping and eating habits.  This is important to know.

I found a great article regarding children and obesity due to lack of sleep from the Pediatrics Journal.  Sleep is also an important conponent of healing – please read:

Here’s an excerpt:

A recent study draws a strong correlation between lack of sleep in children and their risk of becoming obese as they grow older.  Each additional hour a 3rd-grader sleeps at night reduces the risk by 40% of becoming obese in the 6th grade. 

Irregular bedtimes, caffeine intake and in-room TVs are all thought to contribute to the obesity epidemic.  Sleep deprivation appears to upset the balance between two hormones that regulate the appetite: ghrelin (promotes hunger) and leptin (contributes to the feeling of fullness).  The average 3rd grader sleeps 9 hours a night.  Those least like to become obese routinely slept 10-12 hours nightly.  Pediatrics, Nov 2007

My Take:  It’s a good idea to establish regular bedtimes as well as sleeping 7-8 hours a night.  This study seems to show that a regular lack of sleep can lead to obesity in children as young as 3rd grade.    Most healing takes place when you sleep and thats why you might want to pay attention to this study.  Even these slight precautions can help keep you prevent weight gain as an adult.
