Not getting enough sleep can make it harder to lose weight because it increases your hunger hormones, which increase your cravings, making you eat more the next day. "When you're tired, your body craves sugar," Autumn said. "It's looking for an immediate energy source. That's why when you're tired, you have stronger sugar cravings. If you give in to them, burning fat is going to be hard to do."
"When you work out during the day, you break your muscles down," she added. "When you sleep is when they repair and recover." If you're not getting enough sleep, you're not allowing your body to rest properly.
Shut off the TV, your phone, and lights at a reasonable hour. Try to make sleep and waking happen at the same time and get seven to eight hours nightly.
