Sleep and Obesity
Many people on diets complain about not being able to lose weight. Sleepless nights might be the reason behind this. Poor quality sleep or sleep irregularity leads to weight gain.
Every idle second we spend in bed is also a trap for us to become obese. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a good sleep balance.
Our body, tired all day, can rest while sleeping. In this case, we need to sleep to survive. Sleep, which protects our health, not only regulates our hormones, but also repairs our tissues, burns fat, and causes many good things such as strengthening our immune system.
Thanks to regular and quality sleep, a person does not experience drowsiness during the day, their energy levels do not drop, and they do not have concentration problems.
Deep Sleep is Important
Sleep patterns and duration vary according to many countries and people's lifestyles and body types. While babies sleep 16 hours a day, this duration starts to decrease as they grow. In young people, this duration drops to 9 hours. According to recent studies, it has been stated that 75% of people in our country sleep an average of 8 hours a day. The remaining group continues to live by sleeping 5 hours a day.
Deep sleep is very important. While the fat burned during deep sleep prevents a person from gaining weight, in people with disrupted deep sleep, fat burning stops and the person starts to gain weight and become obese.
