You don’t get enough sleep

For general health and well-being, sleep is crucial. In addition to its other detrimental effects, sleep loss can cause weight gain. In comparison to women who slept 6 hours or more per day, a research of 92 women found that those who slept less than 6 hours per day had the greatest body mass index (BMI) and the highest levels of visfatin, a protein secreted by fat cells.

Those who slept 5.5 hours per night lost 55% less body fat than those who slept 8.5 hours per night in a two-week trial of 10 overweight people who were on a low-calorie diet. As a result, getting more sleep may help you lose weight. You can try limiting screen time before night, cutting back on your coffee intake, and getting to bed at a routine hour if your sleep is of poor quality. You can develop a treatment plan so that you get more high-quality sleep - and maybe even slim down.
