Poor Sleep & Your Metabolism: How Quality Sleep Impacts Your Body
Think sleep is all about the hours clocked? It’s time to focus on quality—especially when it comes to your metabolism. When you’re awake, your body faces constant wear and tear. Sleep, however, is your body’s prime time for repair, resetting your metabolic processes and preparing you for the challenges of the day.
But what does poor sleep do to your metabolism?
🔹 Increased insulin resistance – Even a single night of bad sleep can disrupt how your body processes sugar.
🔹 Weight gain – Poor sleep is a hidden driver behind metabolic imbalances that lead to obesity.
🔹 Declined mental sharpness – Struggling to think clearly? Your sleep quality might be the culprit.
🔹 Chronic fatigue – When you don’t sleep well, your energy levels plummet, affecting every aspect of your day.
🔹 Higher disease risk – Long-term metabolic issues from poor sleep are linked to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even Alzheimer’s.
