Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have confirmed that lack of sleep increases the risk of obesity in both adults and children. When we don't get enough sleep, our hormones are affected, and we are more likely to overeat and crave unhealthy foods.

Answer: D) Hypertension 
 Lack of sleep can increase blood pressure, leading to hypertension. This is because sleep helps our body regulate stress hormones, and without enough sleep, our body is in a constant state of stress, leading to higher blood pressure.

Answers B) and C) are not accurate responses, as while lack of sleep can contribute to anxiety and diabetes, studies have not specifically confirmed these conditions to occur when individuals do not get recommended hours of sleep at night.
