Sleep & Recovery

Quality sleep is essential for effective weight management, healthy metabolism, and overall wellbeing. When you sleep poorly, your body releases hormones that increase hunger and slow down fat burning.

The Relationship Between Sleep & BMI

• Hormonal balance: Lack of sleep raises ghrelin (hunger hormone) and lowers leptin (satiety hormone).
• Metabolism: Rested bodies burn more calories even at rest.
• Recovery: Sleep helps muscle repair and reduces inflammation.

Tips for Better Sleep

Establish a consistent bedtime, avoid screens 1 hour before sleep, keep your room cool and dark, limit caffeine after mid-afternoon, and stick to a relaxing pre-sleep routine. Even 7–8 hours of quality sleep can improve BMI outcomes.
