Insomnia and weight loss

[Karen.hat]

Does anyone know if insomnia affects weight loss?
I'm probably being silly butt seems though I've hardly slept the last week I'm wondering if it's going to affect my loss. I've been 100% on plan but if it is going to affect it I'd rather know so I'm prepared and can minimize any disappointment and stay in the wagon

I only just saw this but I'm pretty sure I can relate to it! You know me and my bizarre sleep patterns!! Xx

I would only expect a negative effect if you munched instead of sleeping - extra calories and all that.

I've come across articles saying it can affect weight loss - if you put the question to Google it will come up with several sites. The first one was on an American weight loss support site (hope it's o.k. to post this!) at
Insomnia Can Hinder Your Weight Loss

I too am an insomniac and I have read articles that do say it can make dieting harder but more because you will crave sugar/carbs during day for energy. I have still managed half stone loss in 2 weeks with slimming world and walking every day. Love slimming world and don't have to starve myself either.
In addition I have hypothyroidism and would love to hear what diets work for others with this condition x
