Losing weight is not easy. From eating right to staying physically active, weight loss journey is no cakewalk. But you will be surprised to know that something as relaxing as sleeping can also help you shed kilos. Yes, you read that right.

If you weigh yourself at night and then again in the morning, you will notice that you weigh less in the morning. This is because you lose water weight through breathing and sweat.

Even when the body rests, organs and bodily systems do not switch off. The working of the organs consumes calories. Thus, poor night sleep cannot just make you cranky but it can also make you gain weight.
