Our society is filled with illnesses and worries, but the utmost problem in our community is the growing number of childhood obesity or just general obesity. Many people blame the problem of obesity on sugary foods such as candies, sodas, and fast foods. These products certainly have a influence on human body, but the real culprit behind the obesity is lack of sleep. Studies have shown how sleep loss could disturb the production of hormone that control the desire for calorie-rich foods. Also, the level of ghrelin, a hormone released by the stomach to signal hunger, was 15% higher in people who sleep five hours than people getting eight hours of sleep. This is proving the fact that sleeping can actually cause obesity.
