Our list of weight-loss-related benefits of adequate sleep continues:
Metabolism Support: Sleep plays a role in metabolic function. Sleep deprivation can slow down metabolism, making it more challenging to burn calories efficiently.
Energy for Physical Activity: A good night’s sleep provides the energy and motivation needed for physical activity. When you’re tired, you’re less likely to engage in exercise, which is essential for weight management.
Muscle Recovery: Sleep is when the body repairs and rebuilds tissues, including muscles. Adequate sleep helps with muscle recovery after exercise, allowing you to be more active and burn more calories during workouts.
