Kind of a thought experiment, kind of a legitimate question.

So I’ve read from several sources that a lack of sleep leads to reduced weight loss for several reasons, the main one being that your body is more apt to hang onto fat if you’re sleep deprived.

I bring this up because I don’t get a lot of sleep. I tend to stay up really late (it’s 2 am where I am and I’ll probably end up falling asleep around 3 or 4) and I might wake up at 9 or 10:30. I usually don’t get my 8 hours and I know I need to work on that. (I’m not in bed now like I want to be because I’m too lazy to put my sheets back on the bed that I just washed, and I have a headache- fight me m8).

So my thought experiment/question is, if I’m not losing weight at the rate that I should be (shooting for 1 pound a week) because I’m not getting enough sleep, if I suddenly start getting a comfy 8 hours each night, will that weight drop off rapidly or will I just lose weight at the appropriate rate?

I’m cutting calories appropriately almost every day and I’m not late night snacking. Any theories?
