Why 10pm is the Perfect Bedtime

CONTROLS WEIGHT

There’s a stack of evidence that sleep is the crucial ingredient when it comes to weight management – sleep stops pounds being piled on.For decades scientists and doctors have explained that insufficient sleep affects the secretion of cortisol (a hormone that regulates appetite) and the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels.This means if you’re sleep deprived, the higher the risk for weight gain or diseases like type 2 diabetes. A recent study (August, 2018) found that not getting enough sleep changes genes in a way that is detrimental to metabolism and promotes obesity.Increased weight gain can be experienced by healthy humans if they slightly adjust the time they go to sleep on a weekly basis, or are short of sleep in as little as five consecutive nights.
