TL;DR
Evidence is provided that both short and long sleeping times predict an increased risk of future body weight and fat gain in adults and the need to add sleep duration to the panel of determinants that contribute to weight gain and obesity is emphasized.
Abstract
This study provides evidence that both short and long sleeping times predict an increased risk of future body weight and fat gain in adults. Hence, these results emphasize the need to add sleep duration to the panel of determinants that contribute to weight gain and obesity.
