Quality sleep is a key player in weight loss and management. According to sleep specialists, poor sleep disrupts hormones that regulate hunger and satiety, increasing cravings and making it harder to resist unhealthy foods. It also slows metabolism and reduces motivation to stay active. By improving sleep duration and consistency, you can support your body’s natural ability to balance appetite, boost energy, and shed excess weight. Prioritizing good sleep may be the missing link in your weight loss journey.
