Worth separating two things that the opening post runs together.

Stimulants and sleep: if supplementing with caffeine or other stimulants for energy during weight loss, timing and dose matter for sleep. Evening stimulant use interferes with sleep.

Appetite suppression and nighttime eating: if nighttime eating was a pattern, appetite suppression changes that pattern. Sleep can worsen if nighttime waking is habitual and now there is no appetite-based reason to wake.

post #28 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

Obstructive sleep apnoea: pre-existing OSA can worsen with weight before it improves (apnoea-hypopnoea index goes up as soft tissue inflames before weight is lost). This is self-limited but uncomfortable during active weight loss.

This follows post #37 rather than contradicting it.

This follows post #42 rather than contradicting it.

Energy and sleep needs: rapid weight loss increases real metabolic stress. Sleep needs might increase even though appetite for food has decreased. Prioritising sleep is prudent during active weight loss.

glossary_check, post #64: Sleep quality versus quantity: some people report changes to sleep duration; others report changes to sleep quality without duration change. Both can matter for recovery and daytime function. Go to post

I read post #80 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Two things before anyone answers the substance.

First, the context in the first post is clear and specific. Second, the question is framed so that an answer can actually address it. Both are the norm here and both matter more than they sound.

When sleep problems need attention: if sleep does not improve as weight loss continues or if it worsens, discussing with a clinician is prudent. Sleep disorders are real and treatable.

Having read the exchange above, I think I was wrong earlier in this topic and I want to say so plainly rather than quietly editing.

The correction was fair and I had been repeating something I had not checked carefully enough.
