Is There a Link Between Obesity and Sleepiness?
Obesity is a health condition that can cause several changes in the metabolism, which may lead to issues with sleep quality and daytime sleepiness.
Obesity is linked to many factors, such as stress, environmental factors, overall health, and genetics. These factors can disrupt sleep quality and, along with obesity, may cause daytime sleepiness. Obesity can also cause metabolic changes that may disrupt sleep-wake cycles, affecting sleepiness. This article will review the link between obesity and sleepiness, how they can influence each other, the sleep concerns people with obesity may have, and how people can improve their sleep quality.
Obesity is linked to sleepiness. Several studies have demonstrated how people with obesity may experience sleepiness during the day, even if they sleep through the night. This can occur anytime during the day but is more common after eating.
