10 Symptoms of Sleep Deprivation

Symptom #7: Weight Gain
Excess weight can lead to significant health problems, so it is important to exercise and eat well when possible. Healthy living also helps to improve your quality of life overall, so everyone should do what they can to keep in shape. If you are having difficulty sleeping, though, keeping the extra weight off can be a lot harder.
Insufficient sleep will effect numerous hormones which can stimulate the appetite and slow metabolism. Eating more means more calories and these are converted into fat which can cause us to become obese. It will also become especially difficult to exercise if you are feeling too tired to do so.
