Poor sleep : Recent studies suggest that sleep deprivation makes it harder 2 control appetite because leptin (a hormone that signals that you've had enough 2 eat) levels drop, while ghrelin (a hormone that stimulates hunger) levels rise, creating a diet disaster. After just 3 nights of disturbed sleep, Insulin sensitivity decreased in study participants (the same metabolic effect as gaining 20-30 lbs).
