【解析】文章通过调查结果告诉我们充足的睡眠有助于身体健康，还有助于保持身材。
【1】getting
考查动词形式。句意：多睡觉有帮助，此处是动名词做主语，故填getting.
【2】to
考查固定搭配。add to“增加，加到”是固定搭配，此处指睡眠不足会增加腰围，故填to.
【3】to report
考查动词不定式。此处表示“让某人做某事”用ask sb. to do sth.后面动词用不定式作宾补，故填to report.
【4】pressure
考查名词。此处表示血压，是名词。用blood pressure，故填pressure.
【5】It
考查代词。此处是it作形式主语，后面的that从句是真正主语，故填It.
【6】thicker
考查形容词比较级。根据句中than可知此处有比较的意思，用形容词比较级。故填thicker.
【7】However
考查连词。句意：研究人员并没有解释睡眠不足会导致体重增加的原因，过去的研究表明睡眠不足会导致增加释放激素。前后句是转折关系，故填“然而”However.
【8】are
考查主谓一致。句中which指代先行词hormones是复数，谓语动词与之一致也用复数，故填are.
【9】importance
考查名词。此处由the限定由后面的of修饰用名词，指获得足够睡眠的重要性。故填名词importance.
【10】differs
考查动词形式。与句中所给动词一致用一般现在时，主语是How much sleep是不可数名词用单数，故填动词的第三人称单数differs.
