According to this article, Warwick Medical School at the University of Warwick has found that sleep deprivation is associated with an almost a two-fold increased risk of being obese for both children and adults. The research had reviewed the current evidence in over 28,000 children and 15,000 adults. Those who sleep less have a greater increase in body mass index and waist circumference over time and a greater chance of becoming obese over time.
