Sleep quality directly impacts weight management because inadequate or poor-quality sleep disrupts the hormones that regulate hunger and metabolism. Lack of sleep can lead to increased levels of ghrelin (hunger hormone) and decreased levels of leptin (satiety hormone), promoting overeating. Also, fatigue can reduce physical activity and lead to poor food choices, compounding weight gain. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep to restore energy, support metabolic processes, and promote overall health. Establishing a sleep routine, minimizing screen time before bed, and creating a comfortable sleep environment are effective strategies for improving sleep quality.
