It's definitely true. We know that sleeping enough, and sleeping to an appropriate schedule both help weight loss, even when you're eating the same number of calories. We know that "front-loading" calories in your day tends to be healthier.
I would be surprised, though, if these things were added to the WW plan, because they have to simplify everything enough to make it easy for people to follow. The more accurate your model of a complex system is, the more complex it is, and the harder it is to use. So for a mass-market system, you have to leave out important parts to keep it simple enough to be usable for an average person.
I could see making sure that WW leaders and coaches know this stuff, so that if someone is having trouble reaching their goals, the leaders and coaches could give them other suggestions like this to add in.
