Lets face the fact!


Trying all the method of loosing weight and still hasn't got the results you wanted disappoints.


Everyday, there are new people coming out with different ways you can use to lose weight. But have you ever thought you can lose weight just by getting enough sleep?


'One analysis of 20 studies including 300,000 people found a 41% increased obesity risk among adults who slept fewer than 7 hours per night. In contrast, sleep was not a factor in the development of obesity in adults who slept longer (7–9 hours per night) (2Trusted Source).'


The fact is stated that ' sleep deprivation can lead to weight gain. It comes down to hormones: Sleep deprived people produce more ghrelin, an appetite-stimulating hormone. 


And they produce less leptin, the hormone that tells you when you’ve eaten enough. There’s also evidence that the overly-sleepy eat more calories, and more comfort-food-carbs. 


And it’s no surprise that when you’re exhausted, it’s harder to control your impulses (meaning, grabbing cookie after cookie may seem like a fine idea).


Ways Sleep May Help You Lose Weight


1. Getting Enough Sleep May Help You Control Your Appetite


Sleep deprivation lead to significant increases in hunger, food cravings, portion sizes, and chocolate and fat intakes.


The increase in food intake is likely caused partly by the effect of sleep on the hunger hormones ghrelin and leptin.


When you do not get adequate sleep, the body makes more ghrelin and less leptin, leaving you hungry and increasing your appetite


2. Sleeping early can prevent late-night snacking


Pushing your bedtime later means you’re staying up longer, which creates a larger window of time for eating, especially if it has been many hours since dinner.


For example, if you ate dinner at 6:00 p.m. and you stay up until 1:00 a.m. every night, you’re likely going to be hungry at some point between dinner and bedtime.


If you’re already experiencing sleep deprivation, you may be more likely to opt for less nutritious options. That’s because sleep deprivation can increase your appetite and craving for high calorie, high fat foods.
