    I'm glad you posted this article. I came across the original a year or two ago in a class. I've been thinking of sending a suggestion to My Fitness Pal asking them to add a sleep counter similar to the water counter. I think it would be helpful for people to track their sleep, and I bet they'd be surprised how much it correlates with their weight.

    But it's not just weight loss, you actually lose muscle instead of fat when dieting if sleep deprived. This is a good reason to rethink priorities
