How Does Sleep Impact Weight And Health?
2
Is Sleep Really Important?

• Sleep affects many bodily functions, including
  metabolism, blood sugar control, appetite,
  cravings, digestion, body temperature, hormone
  release, memory, mental health, and recovery.
• Therefore, sleep deprivation (less than 7 hours
  per night) is associated with various health
  conditions such as insulin resistance, diabetes,
  obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension,
  depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and
  seasonal affective disorders.

?What Do We Define As Good Sleep?

• Sleep duration varies throughout life, but the
  average healthy adult should aim for 7-9 hours of
  sleep per night.
• But good sleep goes beyond quantity. Quality
  sleep is defined as falling asleep easily and
  continuously, not waking up completely during the
  night, not waking up too early, and feeling
  refreshed in the morning.

What Goes On Behind The Scenes In Our Bodies To
Affect Our Sleep?

• The body maintains an internal master clock
  that coordinates multiple cycles known as
  circadian rhythms, which repeat on a 24-hour
  basis.
• Both humans and animals have different mental and
  physical systems that are regulated by their own
  circadian rhythms.
• For example, our digestive system follows its own
  rhythms that help regulate blood sugar levels
  when we are asleep and when we are awake.

What Happens Just After A Single Night Of Poor
Sleep?

• Our appetite grows, and we consume more.
• We have cravings and an incline towards
  higher-carbohydrate, higher-fat meals.
• Despite our best efforts, our blood sugar levels
  fluctuate.
• Our energy levels are low, and we are not as
  driven.
• We do not recover from stressors, whether from
  life, job, or exercise, and as a result, we may
  remain stressed.
• We have a more difficult time gaining muscle.
• Our immune system suffers as a result of
  inflammation, and we may become ill more
  frequently.
