Emerge CareWhy does sleep change during weight loss?
Sleep and weight influence each other in both directions. What that means while things are changing.
Sleep and weight affect each other in both directions. Broken sleep influences the hormones involved in appetite, and excess weight is a recognised risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea, which itself breaks sleep. Changing one tends to move the other.
Loud snoring, gasping in the night, or daytime sleepiness despite enough hours in bed are worth raising rather than absorbing, because sleep apnoea is diagnosed with a sleep study and left untreated is associated with cardiovascular risk.
