Sleep deprivation is depriving you of being slim and trim. Growth hormone (GH) does more than just stimulate growth and cell reproduction; it also refreshes cells during the night when you're sleeping, and is a powerful player in using your ability to maintain an ideal weight.

GH effectively tells your skin to slow up on using carbs for energy and asks them to use fat instead. But you can't get an ample supply of GH unless you're getting your Zs. GH prefers to come out at night. ..........

So without that sleep, GH stays locked up in the pituitary, which negatively affects your proportions of fat to muscle. Over time, low GH levels are associated with hgih fat and low lean muscle - not to mention old eyes and that nagging, chronic, not-so-fresh look and feel. LEt GH loose by getting restful sleep.
