Can I lose weight when I sleep?

Modern people are under great pressure in work and life, so they often stay up late and work overtime. This will easily lead to overeating and overeating, and at the same time, it will also lead to obesity. So, can I sleep thin?

If you want to lose weight, start by changing your work and rest, go to bed on time every day and get enough 8 hours of sleep. Now let’s introduce whether you can lose weight by sleeping. Those who don’t know this well can learn from the following.

Can I lose weight when I sleep?

Insufficient sleep leads to obesity. This basis can be found in the statistical data of social questionnaires and laboratory studies. So far, there have been more than 50 studies on the relationship between sleep and obesity. The data of 600000 people in 18 studies were summarized and counted. The results showed that less than 5 hours of sleep per day increased the risk of obesity by 1.5 times; For every hour of sleep, BMI will drop by 0.35. On the surface, this seems illogical. According to general speculation, during sleep, the metabolism of the human body slows down. The more sleep, the less energy is consumed. In fact, the relationship between sleep and body weight is very close. Sleep plays an important regulatory role in the neuroendocrine system and glucose metabolism, so it can affect body weight in many ways.

2. Risk of staying up late:

Staying up late to get fat is just because of greed, so long as you control your food, it is not true, because lack of sleep will also reduce the metabolic rate of fat, making it easier for fat to accumulate in the body. We know that insulin can reduce blood sugar and convert glucose in the blood into glycogen and fat storage. After staying up late, the sensitivity of cells to insulin is significantly reduced, which is called “insulin resistance”. The conversion and storage of blood sugar are blocked, and the blood sugar after meals is still high, so the body must secrete more insulin to help reduce blood sugar. High concentration of insulin in blood can promote the synthesis and storage of fat, inhibit the decomposition and utilization of fat, and increase the risk of obesity. In one experiment, young healthy volunteers slept only 4.5 hours a day for four consecutive days, and the sensitivity of adipocytes to insulin was reduced by 30%, which was almost equivalent to the corresponding metabolic function aging for 10-20 years.
