Hi folks! I'd like for you to meet leptin and ghrelin.
No, those are not refugee orcs from "Lord of the Rings". Leptin and ghrelin are hormones, and research is indicating that, while they didn't have a role in the movie, they DO seem to have a role in weight gain and weight loss. Two studies, one at the University of Chicago in Illinois and the other at Stanford University in California, indicated that sleep deprivation tended to alter the levels of these hormones in such a way that they did not efficiently fulfill their normal functions of controlling feelings of hunger and fullness. The short answer from these studies appears to be that being short on sleep, generally less than 8 hours a night, interferes with the work of these hormones, and that people getting less than 8 hours a night tended to be fatter than those who got the appropriate amount of sleep.
