Snoozing, Slimming, and Smiling (In That Order) Welcome, fellow sleepers, dreamers, and dieters! If you’ve ever tossed and turned through the night wondering if your lack of sleep is causing that stubborn belly fat, or if eating pizza at midnight is secretly a workout in disguise ( it’s not), then this book is for you. I’m J.R. Wheeler, but you can call me The Sleep Sage, your trusty guide on this journey through the myths and mysteries of sleep and weight loss. We’re going to break down some of the silliest misconceptions you’ve ever heard—things like, “You can’t lose weight while dreaming,” (actually, you burn calories sleeping—you're welcome) and “Carbs are evil” (I’ll argue that nothing made of bread and cheese could ever be truly evil).
