Lower sleep duration may lead to weight gain, study finds
A recent study shows that reducing sleep duration by approximately one hour and 20 minutes daily for six weeks leads to weight gain, with participants gaining about half a kilogram without any change in their diet. This was accompanied by decreased physical activity and increased sitting time. The results indicate that chronic sleep deprivation negatively impacts not only weight but also insulin sensitivity and inflammatory markers, while energy levels decline and hunger and satiety hormones are altered. This highlights the importance of sufficient sleep for maintaining sustainable health.
