Abstract
This study explores the critical roles of sleep quality and stress management in achieving successful weight loss outcomes. Despite the well-documented importance of diet and exercise, emerging evidence suggests that psychological and physiological factors such as sleep and stress play significant roles in weight regulation. A comprehensive review of recent literature highlights how inadequate sleep can disrupt hormonal balance, particularly affecting ghrelin and leptin levels, which regulate hunger and satiety. Individuals experiencing sleep deprivation often report increased cravings for high-calorie foods, contributing to weight gain and hindering weight loss efforts. Additionally, chronic stress is associated with elevated cortisol levels, which can lead to increased appetite and fat accumulation, particularly in the abdominal region. Effective stress management techniques, such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and physical activity, can mitigate these effects and support weight loss. This abstract emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to weight loss that incorporates sleep hygiene and stress management strategies alongside traditional dietary and exercise recommendations. By addressing these factors, individuals may enhance their chances of achieving and maintaining weight loss success, ultimately leading to improved overall health and well-being.
