Weight Gain
Poor quality sleep due to sleep apnea would also lead to weight gain in many people. When you do not get sufficient rest, the body will generate an excessive amount of ghrelin, a hormone that urges you to eat more. Also, this health issue would cause a reduction of leptin hormone, which encourages the body to stop eating. Insulin resistance might also happen, resulting in the craving desire of your body for unhealthy foods that would make you gain weight quickly. The most effective way to deal with this symptom is to have a balanced diet and do frequent exercises. [10]
