Sleep Apnea And Weight Gain

Question: Can getting too little sleep cause weight gain?I haven't been diagnosed, but I'm pretty sure I have sleep apnea. I wake up several times a night gasping for air after snoring for a bit. (So says my bf). I was just wondering if poor sleep can cause weight gain, even if you get plenty of exercise and eat well?



Answer: yes sounds like you do, go see a doc about your options., First thing they are going to tell you is to lose weight, b/c it will help the sleep aponea "go away". My dad has been diagnosed with it. The doc has told him to lose weight. I saw it on E channel too, some star had it, she lost weight and she doesn't have problems anymore. Another reason to go see your doc is that your brain is being deprived from oxygen, which is essential for brain function. Some docs might prescribe a mask, to help you breathe at night.I think if you use google scholar and google little sleep and weight gain, you might find a few journal articles correlating the two factors.<
