I love sleep, it’s my meditation. I’d pick sleep over over anything ? don’t wake me up for food, to give me presents or even for sex. I need a solid eight hours of sleep for my engines to be optimized.
Not getting enough sleeps makes me ugly and crabby, but what else is it doing? It increases your risk of being obese ? the less you sleep, the greater the risk. Two hormones affected by sleep and directly related to eating: gherlin and leptin. Gherlin, the “go” hormone tells your body to eat, and leptin, the “stop” hormone tells your body you’re full.
Sleep deprivation causes an increase in gherlin and a decrease in leptin.
In addition to a slowing metabolism due to lack of sleep, the body also causes cortisol levels to rise, which increases your appetite and creates unsightly belly fat.
