6Gain Weight
There is a strong link between sleep deprivation and an increase in appetite and hunger. This is because shortened sleeping time would reduce the production of leptin, which helps suppresses appetite and signals satiety to your brain. In addition, this condition would result in more ghrelin, a component that triggers hunger in the body. As a result, people with sleep loss tend to have cravings for high-carb and high-fat foods, which make significant contributions to unexpected weight gains. [6]
