Weight Gain and Sleep Apnea

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
