It&#8217;s true! Unfortunately, adults are chronically short on sleep &#8211; only getting 6 hours of sleep a night, which adds up to around 11 hours of missed sleep in a week. In fact, it&#8217;s one of the top health concerns, with nearly 1 in 4 hours, ranking sleeping better as their top health priority, second only to losing weight (27%). This brings up an interesting point, because actually both problems could be addressed at the same time. Because sleep and weight are closely linked together, the better you sleep, the more healthy your weight will be. So, if you&#8217;re trying to lose weight, then making sure you&#8217;re getting enough sleep is just as important as your diet and exercise. But how does sleep affect weight loss? Here&#8217;s how.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d7890c2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d7890c2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7e2b518\" data-id=\"7e2b518\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8ca6d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c8ca6d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">The Sleepless Chain Reaction<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54bdd94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54bdd94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Think about the last time you felt really tired. You got a bad nights sleep, and wake up groggy. You opt for a large morning latte to try and get your brain working. You decide to skip your morning workout because you&#8217;re too tired to move that much. Work is a slog, so by the evening you feel wiped out and decide to get take away instead of cooking. And then you end up going to bed late because you&#8217;re uncomfortably full. This is a pretty regular pattern for most people, happening at least a few times a month.

The most popular theory at the moment is centered around how much sleep affects your appetite. After all, hunger isn\u2019t controlled by the stomach, it\u2019s controlled by neurotransmitters, which are the chemical messengers that allow neurons to communicate with one another. Out of all the neurotransmitters in your brain, there are 2 that control appetite \u2013 Ghrelin and Leptin. Ghrelin promotes hunger, while Leptin contributes to feeling full. Your brain will naturally increase and decrease the levels of these chemicals during the day as a signal that you need to consume more calories. So if you\u2019re feeling hungry, it\u2019s because your brain has released a big dose of Gherlin. And if you suddenly feel full while eating. It&#8217;s the Leptin at work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-36df192 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"36df192\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-68fc91b\" data-id=\"68fc91b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a59098 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8a59098\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Where does sleep come into this?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6dc78f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6dc78f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Well a lack of sleep has been shown to interfere with the body\u2019s ability to regulate these neurotransmitters. Studies done on the topic have found that men who got 4 hours of sleep had increase levels of ghrelin and decreased leptin compared to those who got 10 hours sleep. This leads to increased feelings of hunger in those who are sleep deprived, as well as less ability to tell when they are actually full \u2013 meaning they are more likely to overeat and gain weight. But when their sleep levels returned to normal, these imbalances evened out, and their weight dropped again.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3574184 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3574184\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5f96662\" data-id=\"5f96662\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8c7455 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e8c7455\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There have been many other studies around the connection between sleep and food \u2013 from finding that sleep deprivation affects food preferences, and sleep deprived people tend to choose foods that are higher in calories and carbohydrate.

Or that too little sleep interferes with your metabolism, causing spikes in cortisol that tell your body to hang on to as much fat as it can.

Since our minds follow well-trodden neural pathways, it can be a challenge to change those patterns on our own.
