Chewing gum does not help as far as delaying hunger and if chewed vigorously can create hunger as it stimulates your stomach juices. However, once in a while I do use gum when I crave something sweet and just hold it in my mouth.. It helps my cravings from time to time. As far as extra hours of sleep.. It is a known fact that a lot of people do not get enough sleep. There have been studies done it. Each person must know if they are sleep deprived or not.
