17.Weighing too much can be bad for your health,and being fat is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world.In the U.S today,about 9million children over the age of 6are fat.
Sleep might be one answer to the problem of being fat.Past studies have shown a relation between sleeping less and weighing more,but scientists have had a hard time deciding"which came first,the chicken or the egg?"
To get a better idea of which cause which,scientists interviewed the parents of 785third grade students about how well their kids sleep that year.Three years later,the parents answered the same questions.
By sixth grade,18% of these kids were fat.The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students'race or sex.It also didn't matter how strict their parents were,or whether they were boys or girls.Being fat is a problem of these group equally.
Instead,sleep seemed to be the main reason.For the six grade students,every night of sleep above the 9.5-hour average caused a 20% lower risk of being fat.Sleep appeared more important for the third grade students.One more hour of sleep they get led to 40% less in fatness before third grade.
