Doctor Simone French a professor of epidemiology says the premise of losing weight is simple: “Energy in equals energy out.” As you can see this concept is easy to understand. If you take in more energy than you expend, you gain weight. If you take in less energy than you expend then you lose weight. In other words, your calorie intake must be less than the number of calories you burn.
Sleep is essential for overall health and well-being. During sleep, the body carries out important processes such as repairing and rejuvenating cells, metabolism, consolidating memories, and regulating hormones.
Calorie burn, on the other hand, refers to the number of calories the body burns in order to carry out its basic functions such as breathing, circulating blood, and maintaining body temperature. This is known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR), which varies from person to person depending on factors such as age, gender, weight, and activity level.
While sleep is important for overall health, the amount of sleep a person needs may vary depending on individual factors. The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night for optimal health.
It’s also important to note that while sleep itself doesn’t necessarily burn calories, lack of sleep can affect metabolism and lead to weight gain. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation can disrupt hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism, leading to an increased appetite and decreased ability to burn calories. Therefore, getting enough sleep is important for maintaining a healthy weight.
