Does your body automatically try to nap during the day then? If it does, then that sounds like it might be your only option right now is to plan things so you can at least take advantage of some nap time if that is a possibility.....
For your long term health it matters more than with just weight loss. A lot of restorative things happen during sleep

I just wish I had an option to get more sleep, but I don't. Trust me, I'd love to get 8 hours a night. But working full time til 2 am and then having to be up at 7 to get my son to preschool doesn't allow for it.

I always have a pooch in my tummy, I guess, because of the raised cortisol levels being up longer. I have a daily weight journal with sleep details. I can see a weight increase every single time I don't get plenty of sleep. It will be a gain one day, then, I get some sleep and the next day it will be a loss. I agree with the study.

It might correctly identify the hormone causing it. But what is the driver: Sleep or need for sleep?

HOWEVER, and this leads to a big BUT(T), I found that paradoxically, if I sleep less, I get ravenously hungry during my eating window and I actually begin to GAIN weight on Fast-5 because I counter-surf all night long! My hunger is just off the charts. But If I go to bed earlier and get 7-8 hours of sleep, the next day, I'm really not hungry at all.
