LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 27 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Is your mattress making you fat? SleepBook.com, sponsored by Sit ‘n Sleep, recently interviewed two sleep experts to find out; their answers were surprisingly candid. <\/p>\n

\"SleepBook\"Medical studies performed in the past few years are revealing that sleep loss<\/a> can contribute to weight gain. “It interferes with our circadian rhythms and with the way we regulate our hormones,” William Kohler, medical director of the Florida Sleep Institute, says.<\/p>\n

There are two hormones that affect the appetite: Leptin and Ghrelin. Leptin communicates that “full feeling,” and when working correctly, suppresses the appetite. Ghrelin communicates the need for more food to keep energy levels up. <\/p>\n

When people do not get enough sleep, both hormones are thrown out of whack. Their Leptin goes down, making them feel less satisfied – even when they have had enough food; and their Ghrelin goes up, stimulating the appetite.<\/p>\n

“Often, I hear people say they didn’t sleep well, and they were eating just to stay awake. It may be these hormones playing a role,” James P. Krainson, medical director of the South Florida Sleep Diagnostic Center, says.<\/p>\n

So, what can people do to avoid sleep-related weight gain? SleepBook.com offers users’ tips and advice for achieving a better night’s sleep as well as a healthier lifestyle. <\/p>\n

Visitors to the Sleep Book web site<\/a> who complete an interactive survey receive a customized, downloadable, Sleep Book with key information and advice for improving one’s personal sleep routine and environment.<\/p>\n

Something as simple as a mattress replacement may be the answer. <\/p>\n

A poor-quality mattress – unsuited to the person’s body type – is guaranteed to reduce the amount and quality of sleep. This, in turn, could increase the amount of pounds on the body. <\/p>\n

Sit ‘n Sleep, the largest mattress retailer in Southern California, is the only retailer in the region to offer a unique, sleep diagnostic center to its customers. At the center, a diagnostic machine makes more than 17,000 calculations to match sleepers with an optimal mattress type. <\/p>\n
