If you don't snooze, you won't lose (weight)
One hormone you should be familiar with and seek to avoid is cortisol.
Cortisol is the main stress hormone in the body. One of the effects of high cortisol levels in the blood is inhibition of fat oxidation and increased fat storage around the midsection.
Although it may not always be possible to control the number of stressful situations in your life, one area where you have total control is in the amount of sleep you get.
Getting sufficient rest at night can help to readjust cortisol levels and maximize growth hormone secretion (which fights the effects of chronically elevated cortisol).
Aim to get at least 7.5 hours of sleep each night, or the maximum number of 90 minute sleep cycles you can (e.g., 4.5 hours, 6 hours, etc.). Minimize your stress, maximize your sleep, and watch your middle melt away.
