The video describes a study that concludes that children who "don't get enough sleep are at a 20% higher risk for obesity." The video says one reason for this association between lack of sleep and obesity might be because those who get less sleep are more fatigued during the day leading to poorer food choices. Describe some other possible explanations for why these two variables might be related. (a). Students who get less sleep tend to be ones who do not focus on health-promoting activities such as sleep and healthy eating. (b). The connection between less sleep and obesity is likely a coincidence. (c). Students who get less sleep may also get less exercise perhaps because they are tired or because whatever is leading them to get less sleep (homework?) also leads them to have less free time to exercise. Getting less exercise might also lead to more obesity. (d). Getting less sleep causes the body to retain fat. (e). Students who get less sleep are awake more during the day, providing more time and opportunity to eat.
