Sleep deprivation and weight gain
Studies have shown that there is definitely a correlation between people with lack of sleep and weight gain that can lead to obesity. Reports on this subject are mixed due to the fact that obese people are more likely to have respiratory problems and sleep apnea that can lead to sleep deprivation. However, there is also a strong trend among people who do not sleep a regular amount of hours during the night to eat more and gain weight faster than others who do sleep well.
There are many reasons for this. Our bodies have emotional and psychological clocks integrated in them. The circadian rhythm is the natural rhythm that is integrated into our brain. This tells us that we should relax and sleep when it is dark and then arise when the sun shines in the morning.
People who work night shifts on a regular basis and sleep during the day report marked sleep disorders, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, as well as an increased appetite. Our brain and our natural rhythm tell our bodies to eat when they are awake to keep our energy levels high. This trigger makes people who wake up in the middle of the night want to eat while they are awake.
Foods that are eaten in the middle of the night, just before returning to bed to try to sleep, are not digested properly. This leads to greater storage of fats that are then deposited in the blood. They are also deposited around the vital organs of the body, especially in and around the liver.
People who cannot fall asleep are also more likely to eat late at night, which leads to the same problems as mentioned above. Foods that are eaten late at night are not digested or properly metabolized into energy that can be used in the body. This also leads to increased fat deposits.
As humans we are creatures of habit. Habits can be good or bad. The inability to sleep for the required period of time each night can lead to other harmful misbehavior. Our body can get used to waking up after a few hours of sleep, then hunger is triggered, we eat and then go back to sleep. This is a very bad habit that can lead to being obese very quickly if this habit does not break. There are over-the-counter sleep aids that can help with sleep patterns. Prescription medications are available to help with this. Check with a doctor to see if these are an option for you if you have these problems.
Alcohol should also be avoided. It tends to relax and numb a person, however, the high fat content in alcohol makes it a bad choice to drink just before bedtime because it is not metabolized by the body and can cause increased fat storage. People who drink alcohol also before sleeping tend to wake up after short sleep intervals. Alcohol consumption can lead to increased snoring and sleep apnea if ingested in large quantities, which can cause lack of sleep.
Some natural alternatives are available to help with sleep patterns. These are herbal supplements designed to cause relaxation and sleep. These can be used by people to help improve our sleep patterns. They are not addictive or addictive by nature, so they are generally safe to use for this purpose.
As indicated above, we react to the habits to which our systems are accustomed. To improve sleep patterns, try to go to bed at the same time every day and wake up at the same time. This helps the body and mind to develop new routines that are healthy. A hot bath with some essential oils can also help people relax.
It has been reported that stress is one of the main factors for not sleeping well, so reducing stressors in a person's life will also help patterns of relaxation, appetite and sleep. It has been reported that learning to eat small meals at regular intervals is the best way to avoid hunger. In addition, refraining from eating for at least two hours before bedtime will help increase proper digestion and metabolism of foods that have been previously ingested.
