Loss of sleep may lead you to eat

A study has explained why sleep loss may contribute to the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Think appetite.

The study found that sleep loss reduced glycogen release from the liver. Since the patient was still awake, requiring energy (and none was being supplied) - the islets withheld production of insulin to sustain existing blood sugar. The aftermath of this suspended glucose metabolism resulted in increased hunger. Yikes.

This study may hint at reasons behind the dubious freshman fifteen for a lot of college students. Can the body adapt to being up all night studying and snacking without jolting the counter regulatory response of metabolism?
