Sleep deprivation linked to weight gain

The study indicates that regularly reducing sleep hours by approximately 90 minutes daily over six weeks leads to a gradual weight gain, with participants gaining about one pound (450 grams) and experiencing a slight increase in waist circumference despite stable physical activity levels. It shows that sleep deprivation affects the regulation of metabolic processes, making weight management more difficult—especially for women in menopause who face increasing sleep problems. The findings emphasize that adequate sleep, between 7 and 9 hours per day, is essential for maintaining heart health and a healthy weight, and it is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
