I’m sorry I don’t have a pointer but
I’m sorry I don’t have a pointer but shows you here that there is a hormonal
shows you here that there is a hormonal
shows you here that there is a hormonal effect on sleep so if there are some
effect on sleep so if there are some
effect on sleep so if there are some hormones that are released while you’re
hormones that are released while you’re
hormones that are released while you’re asleep hormones such as appetite
asleep hormones such as appetite

increased appetite there’s some hedonic
increased appetite there’s some hedonic aspect of sleep loss such as you just
aspect of sleep loss such as you just
aspect of sleep loss such as you just have more time to spend eating you also

hand your fill sleepy and fatigued and you don’t have any energy to go out and
you don’t have any energy to go out and
you don’t have any energy to go out and exercise so that decreases your energy
exercise so that decreases your energy
exercise so that decreases your energy expenditure these to increase the risk

for obesity diabetes have been linked to
for obesity diabetes have been linked to sleep loss and not just by means of
sleep loss and not just by means of
sleep loss and not just by means of obesity but also just sleep loss on its
obesity but also just sleep loss on its
obesity but also just sleep loss on its own can lead to increased risk for
own can lead to increased risk for
own can lead to increased risk for diabetes again by hormonal pathway
diabetes again by hormonal pathway
diabetes again by hormonal pathway there’s a hormone in your body called
there’s a hormone in your body called
there’s a hormone in your body called insulin growth factor factor number one
insulin growth factor factor number one
insulin growth factor factor number one which is responsible for glucose control
which is responsible for glucose control
which is responsible for glucose control and also responsible for growth and if
and also responsible for growth and if
and also responsible for growth and if you don’t sleep enough the hormone
you don’t sleep enough the hormone
you don’t sleep enough the hormone release is disturbed and therefore
release is disturbed and therefore
release is disturbed and therefore you’re at higher risk of having diabetes
you’re at higher risk of having diabetes
you’re at higher risk of having diabetes heart disease and high blood pressure

rate it from 1 to 9 one is not sleepy at
rate it from 1 to 9 one is not sleepy at all 9 is very sleepy and look at the
all 9 is very sleepy and look at the
all 9 is very sleepy and look at the graphs there obviously the eight hour

no perception at all of them doing so
no perception at all of them doing so bad on the
bad on the
bad on the tests and I think that’s what actually
tests and I think that’s what actually
tests and I think that’s what actually leads to to our society to think that

two weeks of losing sleep they felt
two weeks of losing sleep they felt they’re doing okay
they’re doing okay
they’re doing okay yet they weren’t doing that well so what
