Weight gain is inversely proportional/ negatively correlated with the hours of sleep each night, and is directly proportional/ positively correlated with the hours of "screen time" each day. 
<span>
According to Susan Zafarlotfi, PhD, clinical director of the Institute for Sleep and Wake Disorders at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, sleep deprivation (lack of sleep) can increase a person's tendency to seek for junk foods and comfort foods and can cause a person's metabolism to function improperly. However, studies also show that getting more than the necessary amount of sleep does nothing to help a person's weight loss journey either (source: </span>https://www.nhs.uk/news/obesity/sleep-affects-weight-loss/). So, although weight gain and sleep are negatively correlated, there must be a limit to this, as getting too much sleep does nothing to help with one's metabolism and body functions either. 

Screen time refers to the time a person spends using a device such as a computer, television, games console, etc. Studies have shown that the more screen time a person has, the greater the possibility of him/her gaining weight because it makes it easier for a person to (mindlessly/absentmindedly) snack and decreases a person's physical activity (exercise). Depending on a person's metabolism, absentmindedly snacking and lack of physical activity are definitely factors which can bring about weight gain.
