Many people focus only on diet and exercise, but sleep is an equally important part of losing weight.
Sleep and hunger hormones
Lack of sleep increases the hunger hormone ghrelin and reduces the fullness hormone leptin, making you crave more food, especially sugary snacks.
Aim for 7–8 hours
Most adults need 7–8 hours of quality sleep. A regular sleep schedule keeps your metabolism balanced.
The takeaway
Prioritise sleep as much as diet and exercise. Avoid screens and heavy meals right before bed.
