Have you ever eaten healthy, drank plenty of water, exercised every day, and still didn’t reach weight loss goals? If you answered yes, there might be a chance you aren’t sleeping enough. Did you know, that not getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night can potentially cause you to gain weight? I didn’t know this until recently. I suffer from insomnia, so my weight constantly fluctuates. I’m sure some of you are thinking, “how can lack of sleep affect my weight?” I’m sure when you lack sleep you notice a difference in your entire body. You feel tired, hungry, sometimes you feel cranky. Well, your metabolism and fat cells feel just like you. Your metabolism starts to slow down, and you are likely to notice weight gain. Sleep deprivation make you crave different food. This may sound weird, but it is true. When you lack sleep, your brain doesn’t produce the hormones that help you feel full and lose weight. When these hormones aren’t produced it is nearly impossible to lose weight. I would like to apologize to the gym junkies out there when I say this, sleep is way more important than going to the gym! So, take that nap, you deserve it! When people try to hate on you for sleeping more, tell them, you’re sleeping to achieve your weight loss goals!
