According to some researchers, people who have severe sleep disorders who lose the recommended amount of weight, three times more likely to experience a total loss of sleep disorder symptoms than those who did not lose weight.

One group undergo weight-loss program with portion controlled meals and exercise programs 175 minutes per week.
The second group did not receive advice to lose weight and participate in the diabetes management program. One year later, the group who undergo weight-loss program lost an average of 24 pounds, while the second group only lost weight more than 1 pound.
Those who were in the weight-loss group three times more likely to lose sleep disorders and has about half the serious condition of sleep disturbance compared with the second group. In addition, the study showed that people who are in the second group have symptoms of sleep disorders worse.
"These results show that doctors and patients can expect a big improvement in their symptoms of sleep disturbance with weight loss," said researcher Gary Foster, director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University, said in a press release.
"And the reduced symptoms of sleep disturbance has a number of benefits for the health and overall health," he said.
