A member asked:
Can sleeping right after dinner make you gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleeping and Weight: Not really during sleep we release a hormone called ghrelin which stimulates appetite, if there is sleep disruption for any reason, more ghrelin can be released increasing appetite and weight gain.
