Ghrelin is produced by the stomach and sends signals to your body to continue eating. If you sleep for lesser number of hours each day, your body will suffer a 15% fall in the production of Leptin and a 15% rise in the production of Ghrelin. As a result, you will be working against your weight loss goals by ending up overeating. – Lesser calorie burn One of the other side effects of less sleep is that you will burn lesser calories in a day in comparison to getting enough sleep.
