Why Treating Obesity and Sleep Disorders Together Is Critical
Obesity is a chronic medical condition that affects nearly every system in the body, including:
- Metabolism and hormones
- Cardiovascular system
- Respiratory health
- Sleep quality
Sleep disorders such as
obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) worsen weight gain by disrupting hormones like ghrelin and leptin that regulate hunger and satiety.
This creates a vicious cycle:
- Weight gain worsens sleep quality
- Poor sleep increases appetite and cravings
- Fatigue reduces physical activity
- Metabolism slows down
