Many epidemiological studies revealed dependence between short duration (deficit) of sleep and overweight and obesity. Cross-cohort studies confirm more strong relationship in children than in adults. Prospective studies have shown that, despite their small number, persistent sleep deprivation further increases the risk of overweight and obesity.
There are several pathophysiological pathways that can integrate sleep deprivation with overweight and obesity. These can be roughly divided into biological (changes in appetite-regulating hormone levels (leptin and ghrelin), increased sympathetic activity, reduced brain glucose intake, increased evening cortisol intake) and behavioral (increased daily food intake, including high-calorie consumption in the form of snacks, alcohol consumption, increasing appetite, reduced energy and physical activity expenditure). However, simply increasing the sleep duration is not the solution of sleep deficit and obesity problem. The modern living conditions and the possible presence of various disturbances in the sleep structure may be factors causing sleep disorders.
Currently there is no convincing evidence that improving the quality and duration of sleep can help patients with obesity to reduce body weight. Further methodologically better prospective cohort studies are needed to demonstrate this relationship, as well as physiological studies that clarify the biological ways in which body weight gain can be realized with sleep deficit. All this is necessary to justify sleep correction as an effective measure of weight normalization.

Keywords: overweight, obesity, sleep, sleep deficit, energy consumption, hormones, risk factors.
