Insufficient sleep undermines dietary efforts to reduce abdominal and visceral adiposity, obesity, and the risk of cardiovascular disease. As a result, when there is a lack of sleep in the body. Our body loses muscle mass instead of body fat.
When the quality of our sleep is affected, our body begins to feel more hungry; since it lacks the energy to carry out any activity or exercise.
If we have a rough night, our mood reflects it; we wake up grumpy, confused, and dull. If this is the case for a night rough, imagine how our body would react without being able to sleep.
Not only your brain, your mood, and your body feel like this. The fat cells of your body suffer from metabolic decontrol, affecting the process in which fats are burned or processed and is reflected in the sleep debt: exhaustion and poor physical and mental performance.
Scientific studies indicate that people who sleep more than 7 hours can burn more calories,sleeping stimulate weight.
But how does this harm my health? Well, when our body deprives of sleep, the body’s ability to use insulin correctly is entirely altered. Fats do not fulfill their function of eliminating fatty acids or lipids from the blood but store in other places, and you begin to gain weight or suffer from diseases such as diabetes.
Not resting makes you want to eat due to the hormones leptin and ghrelin. Leptin is produced in fat cells and makes your stomach feel empty. While ghrelin stimulates the appetite and increases the amount of fat our body stores.
Also, another hormone in our body is affected by lack of sleep: cortisol (stress hormone). On high levels of stress, our body fat increases due to the incorrect storage of insulin. You can see that when you lose muscle and not fat. When you do not sleep sufficient
what happens is that you gain weight.
It is a big recommendation to have a restful sleep of 7 to 8 hours a day to lose fat and maintain muscle mass. Different studies from universities in the United States and Clinical Centers (which you can find on the Internet) differ on weight gain or loss when sleeping. As it varies according to each body and lifestyle.
So to keep our body healthy and stable in every way. It is necessary to comply with the three-by-eight (3×8) rule, which will allow us to have a healthy lifestyle in all aspects: rest, leisure, and work.
