"Sleep late to lose weight" is a question many people ask, because sleep is just as important as diet and exercise. According to research, sleeping late greatly affects people's health and mental health, including weight problems.According to a study of adults in the United States, about 30% of adults sleep less than 6 hours most nights. Therefore, many questions are raised such as: "does sleeping late lose weight" or "does sleeping late gain weight". In fact, a lot of evidence shows that sleep is an important factor affecting weight loss.
1. Does sleeping late lose weight?
Everyone's sleep needs are different, but they all have the same question, "does sleeping late to lose weight?" Overall, the study observed changes in weight with less than 7 hours of sleep per night. Changes in sleeping late too often cause weight gain. In particular, people with sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea syndrome, will be made worse by weight gain.Therefore, to the question "does sleeping late lose weight", the answer is no, this causes weight gain in humans.
2. Sleeping late can increase cravings
Sleeping too late affects two hunger hormones, ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin is a hormone secreted by the stomach that signals hunger to the brain. Ghrelin levels are high before eating, which is when the stomach is empty, and low after eating. Leptin is a hormone released from fat cells that suppresses hunger and signals satiety to the brain. If you don't get enough sleep or sleep late, your body makes more ghrelin and less leptin, making you crave food.In addition, the hormone cortisol will be higher when you don't get enough sleep. Cortisol is a stress hormone that can also increase cravings. Therefore, people who are applying a reasonable diet but sleeping late will cause weight gain and obesity.

3. Sleep fights cravings and makes healthy choices
Lack of sleep reduces activity in the frontal lobe of the brain, the area responsible for decision-making and self-control, which in turn changes the way the brain works. This can make it harder to make healthy choices and resist tempting foods. The brain increases its response to food, which increases the consumption of foods rich in calories, fats, and carbs.4. Sleeping late can increase calorie intake
People who sleep too late tend to consume more calories. However, this could also just be due to increased times of alertness and willingness to eat, like watching television. Therefore, if you want to lose weight effectively, you need to sleep early and get enough sleep to reduce late-night snacking.5. Sleeping late can lower your resting metabolism
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the number of calories the body burns at complete rest; affected by age, height, weight, sex and muscle mass. Not getting enough sleep can lower your RMR and cause muscle loss. Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat, so muscle loss reduces resting metabolic rate.

6. Sleeping late reduces physical activity
Sleeping late regularly can cause daytime fatigue, reducing the ability to concentrate and be physically active.7. Sleeping late causes insulin resistance
Sleeping late can cause cells to become resistant to insulin. Insulin is a hormone that transports sugar from the blood into the body's cells for use as energy. When cells become resistant to insulin, more sugar remains in the blood and the body responds by producing more insulin. Excess insulin makes you hungrier and causes your body to store more calories as fat. Insulin resistance is a precursor to both type 2 diabetes and weight gain.In summary, poor sleep dramatically changes the way the body responds to food. Sleeping late causes weight gain through increased appetite, decreased self-control, decreased resting metabolic rate, muscle loss, and decreased motivation and exercise intensity. For those who lose weight, along with eating right and exercising, establishing healthy sleep habits can help the body maintain an ideal weight.
