Everyone wants a perfect figure. Both men and women want to be thin, so they will try their best to lose weight. But most methods of losing weight don't work, and the effect is not very good. Some people think that they can lose weight if they don't get enough sleep, so they stay up all night. So can they lose weight if they don't get enough sleep?

Lack of sleep can not lose weight, but will gain weight for the following reasons.

1. Lack of sleep will reduce energy consumption. People who sleep less will consume less energy, 20% lower than normal people after meals, and a lot of energy will become fat.

2. Lack of sleep will increase food intake. According to research, women who lack sleep will consume more than 300 calories the next day than women who sleep normally. Moreover, people who lack sleep will eat a lot of snacks at night. Lack of sleep will promote the secretion of auxin in the body and increase appetite.

3. Lack of sleep will affect the metabolism of fat. During sleep, the brain releases a lot of hormones, which can convert excess fat into energy. If you don't get enough sleep, fat will accumulate, which is not conducive to losing weight.

To sum up, lack of sleep can not only lose weight, but will gain weight, so be sure to get enough sleep. Friends who want to lose weight should choose the right methods, such as proper exercise or diet adjustment, and it is best to sleep for eight hours every day, so as to lose weight effectively.
