Sleep deprivation and weight loss

I feel like pretty much every doctor will agree that a good sleep schedule is not only is necessary for overall health, but is also very beneficial for weight loss. What constitutes as good varies from person to person, but for me personally 8-9 hours starting and ending not too late is what I prefer. If I sleep less, I'm more likely to not only eat more, but eat more bad stuff and exercise less, creating a super caloric surplus. I also feel super bloated and get stomach upset so that causes water weight and distension. But I feel like those are more indirect affects on weight loss as opposed to being "I slept x under min. amount and now will gain y amount of weight."

However, my mom told me that she once read that being very tired burns a lot of calories so I'm very curious about what is the relationship between sleep and weight loss. I'm assuming that the less you sleep the slower you metabolism is, which doesn't seem like it would help you burn calories, but has any one heard or read differently?

I practically pulled an all nighter last night and I'm very curious about the science of this so any articles would be greatly appreciated. And regardless of the results, I'm not planning on in cooperating sleep deprivation into my weight loss strategy
