Burning the Midnight Oil?
Struggling with fatigue, loss of stamina, muscle wasting, or weight gain? Getting less than 7 hours of sleep can increase belly fat. It can increase snacking late at night as well as more cravings for high calorie, less healthy food. Less sleep can also increase cortisol (the stress hormone) in the evening…causing insomnia. Less than 7 hours has also been linked with lower testosterone levels in men.
