Answer:
Sleep and weight is the association between the amount sleep an individual obtains and the weight of that individual. Numerous studies have demonstrated an association between sleep disturbances and weight gain, and more specifically, that sleep deprivation is related to overweight.
Explanation:
Poor sleep is associated with increased oxidative stress, glucose (blood sugar) intolerance (a precursor to diabetes), and insulin resistance. Extra time spent awake may increase the opportunities to eat11, and sleeping less may disrupt circadian rhythms, leading to weight gain12.
