Poor sleep could be secretly fuelling your weight gain: Dr Kubba
Chronic sleep loss disrupts leptin, ghrelin, and cortisol balance-altering appetite and glucose metabolism. Dr Samir Kubba notes that consistent sleep deprivation heightens risks for obesity, hypertension, and insulin resistance. Maintaining 7-8 hours of restorative sleep may restore metabolic equilibrium, reduce inflammation, and support cardiovascular and hormonal stability.
