Sleep!! Physiology🦋🌺
Let’s talk physiology for a moment.🦋🎯
When you sleep:
Your brain detoxifies through the lymphatic system (it literally clears metabolic waste)
Growth hormone is released to repair tissues and support muscle and fat metabolism.
Cortisol (your stress hormone) resets.
Leptin and ghrelin (your hunger hormones) regulate.
Insulin sensitivity improves.
When you are sleep-deprived:
Ghrelin increases (you feel hungrier).
Leptin decreases (you don’t feel satisfied).
Cortisol rises (your body holds onto fat, especially around the belly).
Cravings for sugar and refined carbs increase.
🍇So when we say sleep affects weight loss… this is not fluffy advice. This is hormonal reality. 🦋
If you are trying to lose weight but sleeping 4–5 hours a night, your body is fighting to survive, not to release fat.
🍎🦋
Sleep is where your body recuperates.
It is where inflammation decreases.
It is where your nervous system shifts from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest.
