sleep and how it affects active lifestyle in children
Although it is not clear how sleep affects children's weight, Dr Wang's research suggests children with short sleep have low caloric intake and expenditure. Sleep deprivation often leads to changes in the structure of sleep stage.As a result, children are tired, have somatic and cognitive problems, and in the end, do less because they are tired. Sleep loss also leads to changes in several hormones including leptin, ghrelin, insulin, cortisol, and growth hormone.leep deprivation often leads to changes in the structure of sleep stage.
