Weight Gain and Sleep Apnea
Updated: Mar 15, 2022
Sleep apnea sufferers may experience unexplained weight gain There are 2 reasons for that
1. Too Tired To Exercise 2. Hormonal Imbalances First is Too Tired To Exercise
Poor quality sleep can leave you with low energy and little motivation for a morning Gym class
If you move less & less because you are constantly tired, chances are that the pounds will start adding up
Second Is Hormonal Imbalance
If you are not getting good quality of sleep at night, the hormone levels that control hunger can become imbalanced
You may feel you need to eat more because of this hormone imbalance
Often, when people are tired, they reach for sweet snacks to help give them energy — foods that are filled with empty calories
A desire to eat more calories paired with a lack of energy to exercise results in OBESITY
