A study carried out in 2010 investigated the effects of sleep duration on body composition in people that maintain a moderate caloric deficit [1]. The researchers found that sleeping 8 hours per day results in more fat loss and muscle preservation when compared to sleeping only 5 hours per day.
-
The research found there to be a significant difference between the two groups results as the group that slept for 8 hours lost on average 50% more fat than the group sleeping for just 5 hours.
-
More recent research by Wang et al. supports that sleep restriction tends to negatively affect muscle preservation and fat loss while on a fat loss diet. [2]
- 
So to conclude, getting an adequate amount of sleep is more importan than you think! Its best to aim for at least 7 hours and no more than 10! - 
If you made it this far let me know how long do usually sleep for?
