🌙 Why Sleep Is Your Secret Weapon Against Stubborn Weight Gain
The surprising link between poor sleep and belly fat — and how to reclaim restful nights
Struggling with weight after 40? You might be overlooking one of the biggest saboteurs: poor sleep.
When you don’t sleep well, your body’s hormones go haywire. Ghrelin (the hunger hormone) spikes, while leptin (the fullness hormone) drops — making you crave junk and overeat.
How Lack of Sleep Wrecks Your Weight Loss
Increases cravings for sugar and carbs
Lowers your energy, making exercise feel impossible
Raises stress hormones that store fat, especially around the belly
Slows down metabolism
How to Start Sleeping Better Tonight:
Stick to a consistent bedtime, even on weekends
Avoid screens at least an hour before sleep — the blue light tricks your brain
Create a calm, dark, cool bedroom environment
Try gentle evening stretches or breathing exercises to relax
💡 Quick Win for Today:
Tonight, turn off all screens 60 minutes before bed and try reading a book or journaling instead.
