Weight Gain Caused by Inadequate Sleep
Studies now indicate
that those individuals who don't get their necessary
forty-winks may experience more problems with weight
gain and obesity than those who do. Common issues
that may interfere with sleep include:
digestive woes
insomnia
restless leg syndrome
anxiety
depression
medications - other
the counter and prescribed
stress
night sweats which
may be related to kidney issues or menopause
enuresis (bed wetting)
noise in the area
such as sirens, water dripping, etc.
other medical conditions
The fact that most
of the above contribute to the feeling of ill-health
and may even escalate weight gain as we tend to search
for things to comfort us when we experience ill times,
such as our favorite foods. Many times, we may eat more
thinking it will make us feel better.
In addition, the
more hours we are awake, the more opportunity exists
to hit the kitchen pantry or do a drive-by at the local
fast-food joint.
In Summary
If you consistently
experience difficulty in falling to sleep, please see
your doctor without delay. He (or she) may just
have forty winks with your name on it.
Please meet with your personal
physician to determine and/or verify the cause of weight
gain. With so many solutions available these days,
weight gain is getting much easier to accomplish.
