Does Inadequate Sleep Help Lose Some Weight?

I really don't know guys if the question in my title is right. I would appreciate any idea out there. It's been two days now that I don't have a good sleep. I don't know if it is the effect of the antibiotic that I took a couple of days ago for my cough and cold. Or maybe because my hubby is snoring to loud that I could not sleep. I can transfer to the other two rooms but I rather stay in our sleeping room. Back to my title. I heard from some friends that one way of losing weight is having inadequate sleep. I don't know if I agree with this because what I know is that lack of sleep is not good for our body. I even read in the internet that those people who always go to sleep early have more life span compared to those who go to sleep late. I also read a lot in the internet that taking the best fat burners will help you lose excess weight. What you choose now? having inadequate sleep to lose weight or taking the best fat burners? It's up to you to decide!
