When you think about burning fat in your sleep you may think about a type of exercise or a diet.

But we're starting to find that one of the best things you can do for a lean body is sleep on it. Literally.

Scientists did a study where they made people sleep an extra hour or so each night.

Guess what happened? They ended up accidentally eating less crap. Around 150 fewer calories a day, mostly sugar, which amounts to a pound of fat gone in a month without even trying.

Why? Because when you don't sleep enough, your brain goes full monkey mode. You start craving immediate rewards like a junkie looking for their next fix.

Getting better sleep is like dieting without having to count calories or restrict foods. It gives you more energy and appetite control so you can look and operate at your best.

I've had many issues with sleep in the past, and I know how it can wreck the body.

Basic tips everyone should know about improving your sleep

First off, try to stick to a consistent sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day can help regulate your body's internal clock and improve the quality of your sleep.

Secondly, getting the right amount of sleep is just one aspect of getting better sleep.
