Sleep Yourself Thin? The Sleep–Weight Connection

Do you diet but still can’t drop pounds? Sleep might be the missing piece. In our Studio 10 chat, sleep coach Elina shows how 7½–8½ hours of deep sleep fires up your fat-burning hormones. Missing sleep spikes your hunger and stress. That drives sugar and coffee cravings. Short naps and pills won’t cut it. You need long, natural sleep cycles.

Elina’s top tips:

• Skip evening alcohol and sleep aids.
• Block blue light on screens to boost melatonin.
• Reduce stress so you wake up ready to move.

Better sleep fuels your workouts, lifts your mood, and tames comfort-food urges. Turn your bed into a “healing center” and shed pounds while you rest. Watch the full interview for every simple, science-backed strategy.
