    Years ago, i knew i could go to bed around 12.30am be up at 7.30am no problems, no tiredness. Now i have to go to bed between 10pm - 11pm getting up around 6.30am. Though i set my alarm half an hr before i have to be up as i know i take a good half hr to wake up and get motivated to get up. I think it's a mixture for me. Older, different more tiring job, weight loss. Plus i wake every night needing the loo maybe twice a night!

    1600 - 2000 cals/day eaten
    2200 cals used/day (according to myfitnesspal).
    1000 cals burned exercise/day

    so you're netting 800-1200 calories per day?

    Most people think that sleeping too prone to obesity, extra hour of sleep per night, may help weight loss, lack of sleep but the chance to make the body fat increases.

    yep but i think it is more like 1200-1400 since i assume treadmills etc. tend to over estimate my calorie burn since i am in pretty good cardio shape.

    against a base calorie burn of 2300

    So the problem that you no longer have the energy to stay up late and have trouble getting out of bed..... And you're netting 1200-1400 calories......

    I think we may have identified the source of the problem....
