How does sleep affect weight loss?
Sleep plays a crucial role in weight management. When you're sleep-deprived, your body produces more ghrelin, the hormone that stimulates appetite, and less leptin, the hormone that suppresses appetite. This imbalance can lead to overeating and weight gain. Additionally, inadequate sleep can disrupt metabolism and insulin sensitivity, making it harder to burn calories efficiently.
