Irregular sleeping linked to obesity, smoking

...and what are the causes of irregular sleep?

WOW that picture is gnarly! Sleep deprived individuals are more prevalent to be obese, partly because they do not go through enough sleep cycles or spend the proper amount of time in each cycle including REM.

Well if its oversleeping that is creating that belly then he must of been in hibernation.

its called exercise and will power. most people lack both of these

Lord almighty!

That photo can't be real!

HOLY HANNAH!!! Just say NO!!!!!

or not...

I smoke in my sleep, amazing.

That picture is really distracting. I don't think I've fully read the article because of that huge belly. It's bigger than a pregnant woman's.

Fat people sleep less than people with normal BMIs, that sure is a fact.. surely those moving around faster would burn the blubber @ a faster rate?

Impresssive not one stretch mark.

I am over weight now but I wasn't a year ago. I don't blame it on my sleep, I know I need to excerise how I use to. I use to do deskside support but now I do Help Desk and let me tell you, I'd rather walk around aimlessly looking for your cubicle than sit my butt on a chair all day to fix your problems.

Hot

I think that picture just ruined Shiner Bock for me...forever.

I really hope that picture is photoshopped

that picture is just straight naaaaaaaasssssssty!

This is disgusting! I work 2 jobs and on one of those jobs I walk 2.4 miles to work and back 4 days a week. I am also sleep deprived, (seriously my body does not know day or night because of my schedule!) I am overweight (but am losing weight because of my walking to and from work) and I smoke! And honey I would rather be dead than have a belly that looks like that. I guess what I am trying to say here is if you want to no matter the circumstances you can lose the weight. So this study is BS along with a vast majority of these so called "studies". One day eat all this... one day if you do eat that you will get cancer... I gave up on studies years ago/ I have come to the conclusion.... eat healthy and maintain an active lifestyle and guess what... you will feel better about yourself and you will lose weight. No pills... Just do it!

hmmm...so that's why my boyfriend either hardly sleeps or sleeps very long

while lesser mortals are counting calories , that guy is living large - very large .

wtf is going on in that picture???? someone??? anyone???

I want that picture for my icon ;-)

Sleep when you're tired, wake up when you're not. Don't eat when you're full, and eat well when you're not. God really thought this out, just don't screw with it.

Well, he would be helping his health issues to lay off the beer. Liver or diabetes both don't do well with alcohol. I recall seeing some folks with hep c get swollen stomachs like that. I am not familiar with type 2 diabetes.

Fatty liver disease
Type 2 diabetes
that pic grosses me out

I have a feeling that guy has more problems than sleeping. GEEZE! I mean, is it a tumor? Does it really deserve a thumbs up? NO!

And on the sleeping topic - study's like this are just giving obesity excuses and false pretenses. Maybe the person who gets more than 9 hours is lazy and doesn't do much with the day, and maybe the lack of sleepers are staying up eating or drinking. There are so many factors that surround the sleep schedule, and we all know it's all about your lifestyle while you're awake - not while you're sleeping.

Yeah, he need to burp or something? Good grief that is just wrong!

That guy needs to give birth to that thing.

I smoke, i usually have either less than 5 or more than 9 and i am fine. I believe it has to do with that fatty garbage people are eating. They should stop makling up excuses for people who are fat. If they see it as someone else's fault, they're never going to do anything about it. I don't hate fat people, i just hate people who complain and blame their problems on everything but themselves.

PS that picture is horrifying! It looks like he's severely pregnant...ew
