Adequate Sleep
for Obesity
Getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to support healthy weight management. Sleep deprivation increases hunger hormones and cravings.
How it works
Poor sleep increases ghrelin (hunger hormone) and decreases leptin (satiety hormone), increases cortisol which promotes fat storage and impairs insulin sensitivity.
What to watch for
Sleep apnoea is common with obesity and itself worsens sleep quality - discuss with a doctor if suspected.
