文章級別：中級節錄自：Why Am I Not Losing Weight? 13 Possible Reasons
＊＊＊＊＊
Most adults generally need 7-9 hours of sleep every night. Not getting enough consistent sleep can lead to weight gain. Sleep deprivation has also been linked to obesity and an increased risk of future weight gain.
The same hormones that play a role in the sleep cycle also affect appetite. Ghrelin levels can increase, and leptin levels can decrease when your sleep pattern is off-balance. Hormone changes can lead to more hunger and less fullness.
Your body may produce too much stress hormone if you have too much anxiety or stress or do not get enough sleep.
Try meditation, outsourcing tasks, exercise, sleeping more, and saying no to things you do not want to do or have time for. Talk to a professional if your stress feels overwhelming.
