I'm fat, sedentary, don't sleep enough, eat too many of the wrong foods, and I enjoy emotional distress.
Dude are you me? LOL
I don't exercise, I'm too sedentary, consume wrong foods, addicted to emotional distress

Eat more koobideh!
I'm the opposite of you! 😊 I'm lean, not too lazy, sleep almost enough (4 to 5 hours a day, this is optimal for me), can't eat wrong foods as I had been allergic to many of them, I don't like emotional distress but a work related distress is my favourite.

Apart from sleeping, I do 1 hour of meditation + yoga. I've learnt that sleeping hours may vary person to person. While someone may need 8 to 10 hours of sleep and someone can do with 4 to 5 hours. The rule about sleeping minimum 7 hours may be the median.

The Secret
If I sleep more than 6 hours any day I don't feel that energetic as I do on most other days with a maximum of 5 hours sleep. I don't know if this is because me adopting to this habit very early in my life and persisting with it for now more than 20 years. TBH, upto now I don't have any health issues whatsoever. My immunity is good and on yearly health checkups I'm always fit and fine for most things. You'll be surprised if I tell you that I never ever had headache or any type of body pain that I've seen people start complaining in their early 40s. I don't catch cold so often as people do. I don't remember when was the last time I had fever.
I can only attribute all of these healthy conditions of mine to my for and fine parents who are in their 60s but they are relatively very fit. Thanks to God as well.
I've learnt meditation and yoda habits from my mother and eating good and healthy food from my father.
Please read this article to understand why some people need less sleep.
I can verify it for myself.
