Why Sleep Helps Us Burn Fat!

Why Sleep Helps Us Burn Fat!

Sleep is one of the most underrated components of any weight-loss journey. Before we get in to why our can assist you with this, let’s review the importance of sleep. Countless studies have been done to expose the truth behind the importance of sleep and how it may be connected to weight-loss and recovery. This article will touch upon 4 key components of what makes sleep so important to attaining your goals this year!

  1. The More Hours You’re Awake, The More Calories You Will Eat
    Well that’s a given! The longer you stay awake, the more susceptible you are to catching a case of the late night “munchies”. A great way to avoid these unnecessary calories is to give yourself a bedtime. Yup, we said it! Set yourself a bedtime where you force yourself into a normal sleeping pattern. Before you know it, you will not need a timer to remind yourself that it’s bedtime.
  2. Sleep Helps Decrease Your Appetite
    When our bodies do not receive an ample amount of sleep, ghrelin (the hormone that makes us feel hungry) rises, while leptin (the hormone that makes us feel full) decreases. That would make sense wouldn’t it? The less sleep you get, the more energy (food source) your body is asking for in order to stay awake. In addition, per the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition:

    "Individuals that get a normal amount of sleep throughout the night actually burn more calories throughout the day as well."

    Another study by the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health revealed that chronic sleep deprivation (sleep less than 8 hours) was associated with an increase in BMI.
  3. Sleep Is Linked To Overall Hormone Health
    Sleep plays a vital role in how our body recovers. According to an article written by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute titled “Why Is Sleep Important,” sleep helps keep a healthy balance of a number of different hormones that can be linked to weight loss and weight gain. Not only do our bodies release hormones such as leptin and ghrelin, but sleep also helps us maintain a healthy balance of our insulin, cortisol, and growth hormone.
  4. Recover Faster In Order To Make Gains
    As if the other 3 points weren’t convincing enough that we can all use a little more sleep in order to reach our fitness goals, we have a fourth point for you. Another finding in the experiment mentioned above by the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health:

    "The lower metabolic rate and brain temperature occurring during non-REM sleep seem to provide an opportunity to deal with the damage done during awake and metabolically active period."

    In simpler terms, your body is recovering at a cellular level. Your body not only feels better after a long nights rest, but it also needs it in order to repair and function at its optimal level.
