The benefits of sleep in all areas of health cannot be understated. It is one of the most common facets of weight loss that tends to be neglected. In short, sleep deprivation increases the stress hormone cortisol. When cortisol levels are elevated and for too long, this can lead to fat gain around the midsection, water retention, blood sugar dysregulation, and cravings for sweet and salty foods. All of these downstream effects make it much harder to lose weight consistently.
