Sleep Is Paramount For Metabolic Health
Studies have shown
that when you sleep 5.5 hours per night
instead of 8.5 hours per night,
a lower proportion
of the energy you burn
comes from fat,
while more comes from carbohydrate
and protein.
This can predispose you
to fat gain
and muscle loss.
Additionally, insufficient sleep
or abnormal sleep cycles
can lead to insulin insensitivity
and metabolic syndrome,
increasing your risk of diabetes
and heart disease.
