Explain how a lack of sleep impacts metabolism, weight, and immunity. Provide at least one example
?Poor sleep impacts metabolism and weight. The less you sleep, the more weight you may put on. Chronic sleep deprivation alters your metabolism (changing the way you process and store calories) and stimulates excess stress hormones, such as cortisol, that contribute to weight gain. Loss of sleep also reduces levels of the hormones that regulate appetite, which may encourage stress-eating. In general, stress dampens immunity and too little sleep may have a similar effect. If you get less than seven hours of sleep a night, you may be three times more likely to catch a cold, for example.
