How can obesity be related to insomnia, you
may ask. Well, obesity can lead to insomnia and likewise insomnia can
lead to obesity.
Studies in the Journal of the American Medical
Association and The Lancet indicate poor sleep might boost hunger and
affect the body's metabolism and the ability to lose weight or maintain
weight loss.
Sleep loss itself causes weight gain. People
develop increased cortisol, the stress hormone, and increased insulin
resistance, which is called a prediabetic condition. That makes it harder
to lose weight.
On the other hand, obesity can also cause insomnia.
People with obesity are generally in poor health and may suffer from
heart palpitations, high blood pressure and any number of other health
deficits that can keep a person from getting a normal nights sleep.
