Sleeping for even one hour less a day causes us to eat more than usual, according to a study。根据这项研究结果，我们一天哪怕只少睡了一个小时就可能会吃的比平时多。
And an extra hour - as unlikely as that may be for many of us - also has the same detrimental effect. 如果多睡一个小时，虽然对我们大多数来说并不太可能，但也会导致同样的结果。
Researchers looked at figures from 342 teenagers and analysed their sleeping habits. On average, they slept about seven hours every night。研究人员342名青少年的一些数据以及睡眠习惯等进行了分析。发现他们每晚的平均睡眠时间为7个小时。
However, when the amount of time teenagers slept varied by just an hour - either less or more - they ate, on average, an extra 201 calories per day。那些睡眠时间比平均值多或少1个小时的青少年们，平均每天会比其他人多摄入201卡路里的食物。
This is the equivalent of a bagel or two scoops of chocolate ice cream。这相当于一块硬面包圈或两小铲巧克力冰淇淋球的卡路里含量。

'It's about day-to-day variations in how long you sleep.' “重要的是天与天之间睡眠时间长短的差异。”
Previous research has shown that teenagers who don't get enough sleep are at higher risk of obesity。以前有很多表明，睡眠不足的青少年肥胖的几率更高。
