It\u2019s World Sleep Day and we thought it was the perfect time to reach out to some fabulous sleep experts to talk about how sleep might impact your everyday life (and you might not even know it), along with a few tips on getting your best night\u2019s sleep!<\/p>\n

<\/span>Poor eating habits that result in weight gain over time<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cLack of enough sleep<\/a> is the reason most people are gaining weight without recognizing it. Sleeping affects leptin and ghrelin, hormones that control hunger and fullness. When you have had enough to eat, leptin tells your brain you\u2019ve eaten enough. When you lack enough sleep, the brain reduces the levels of leptin hormones and instead increases the ghrelin hormone, which stimulates your appetite.<\/p>\n

The ghrelin surge and leptin reduction explain why it is easier to overeat at night or why you may be tempted to snack at night when you are yet to sleep. You will also have a high affinity for foods loaded with empty calories or rich in carbohydrates instead of healthier options.<\/p>\n

The cycle continues. When you fail to sleep properly through the night, you wake up feeling tired, which affects your ability or motivation to exercise. You are more prone to skip workouts, and the reduced physical activity will also contribute to weight gain.\u201d says Nicole Eichelberger, BSM Certified Sleep Expert<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“One-way sleep may be causing an issue is in your ability to manage your weight effectively and the daily food choices you make. If you are getting insufficient sleep and feeling stressed for long periods of time your body is less likely to burn fat effectively. Ghrelin and Leptin (the bodies appetite and weight regulating hormones) are responsible for appetite and hunger signals and when sleep deprived ghrelin levels will respond by primarily rising and sending signals to the brain \u2018requesting\u2019 comfort food like refined carbohydrates & refined sugars,\u201d says Naomi Holbrook Health, Wellbeing & Lifestyle Transformation Expert.<\/p>\n
