CINCINNATI (WKRC) - You might be amazed at how the loss of just a little sleep can be a real health hazard.

A study in the Journal of Lipid Research found just four nights of poor sleep can make you gain weight. Apparently our fat storage changes rapidly with too little rest.

Researchers fed people heavy meals and then made sure they got no more than five hours of sleep for four nights. Those without the sleep said they felt less satisfied when eating a meal while sleep deprived.

It also led to higher insulin levels and resulted in the body taking fats from food more quickly, which led to weight gain.

This study focused on weight gain, but sleep problems have also now been linked to high blood pressure, waist weight and a higher risk for blood sugar problems, such as diabetes.
