Weight, Mood, and Sleep: What's the Connection?

Think for a moment about weight, mood, and sleep. How does occasional sleeplessness affect weight? How does weight affect occasional sleeplessness and the mood that follows? What about a healthy metabolism? It’s like a “chicken and egg” situation—which comes first? They are all connected in more ways than you may have realized, so let’s find answers!

Let’s Start with Occasional Sleeplessness
Ghrelin is a hormone that alerts you when to eat. When you have occasional sleeplessness, you have more ghrelin. Leptin is a hormone that tells you to stop eating, and when you have occasional sleeplessness, you have less leptin. The balance is missing, and the weight gain equation is clear. Recent studies confirm that sufficient sleep is vital for a healthy metabolism.

Consider Melatonin
Research shows melatonin supports every aspect of health and vitality, including healthy sleep. If you’re looking for a quality melatonin supplement to support deep, sound sleep†† and overall health, count on Terry Naturally®. Choices include Melatonin EP120 5 mg or Melatonin EP120 10 mg, which is a sustained released formula for consistent levels of melatonin overnight.*
