Poor sleep and obesity

Proper sleep, diet and workout - a Perfect montage which defines a healthy life. In this busy growing world, we struggle to manage them all. We often miss out on them which leads to various health conditions. Your sleep schedule has an important impact on obesity and vice versa.

Sleep is a passive state of resting which is an essential process which controls metabolism, appetite and overall health. Insufficient sleep can lead to various things such as :

  • Leads to hormonal disruption
  • Slows down the metabolism
  • Increased food cravings
  • Making poor food choices
  • Less energy
  • Increases the urge for late night snacking

Obesity and poor sleep simultaneously makes a poor sleep schedule in itself which leads to conditions such as sleep apnea, which is a disorder that disrupts breathing during sleep causing sleep disturbances. Lesser sleep leads to a tired body which makes it harder to lose weight. Lesser sleep leads to high stress levels, an increase in the cortisol level resulting in fat storage.

People of any age need proper sleep. Adults need at least 7 - 9 hours of proper sleep to function healthy whereas teenagers need 8-10 hours and children need 10-14 hours of sleep. If any person lacks sleep it leads to various health concerns such as metabolic disruptions, hormonal imbalances and increased rate of obesity.
