Short YouTube video by Rich Bello explaining how sleep deprivation can cause weight gain. The speaker states specific quantitative associations (on average +559 calories/day; 6 hours sleep → 23% chance of being overweight; ≤4 hours → 73% chance) and explains a hormonal mechanism: sleep deprivation raises ghrelin (hunger) and lowers leptin (satiety), producing increased appetite.

Sleep and obesity. Weight gain. Sleep deprivation causes weight gain. On average, 559 extra calories per day. 6 hours of sleep, 23% chance of being overweight, 4 hours of sleep or less, 73% chance of being overweight. Why is that? There's two hormones in the body. Ghrelin hormone, the hunger hormone. So when you're sleep deprived, that's increased. And leptin, that's the satiety that tells you you're full. That hormone that says, you know, I'm full. That decreases with sleep deprivation. So it's a double whammy. You're never full and you're starving.
