As a result, the stomach will feel hungry and stimulate appetite to eat a diet rich in fat and sugar. Of course this will make weight soared. These hormonal changes also disrupt the metabolism so more fat is stored.

Other studies have shown, lack of sleep will interfere with the body's biological clock or circadian rhythm that regulates glucose and insulin.
