Hello group

This article was on ABC news during the Christmas holidays last year but I

do think there is a link between weight gain and lack of sleep.

I thought I would throw this out to add to the other excellent information

we have recently talked about weight gain and exercise.

Exercise helps improve sleep tremendously but I still don't sleep more than

4 hours at a time. If I am exercising though I can go right back to sleep.

If it isn't pain waking me up it is the chronic interstitial cystitis that

causes me to need to urinate at least every 4 hours. It doesn't matter if I

stop drinking fluids several hours before bedtime.
