English term or phrase: potential energy
Buy some new blinds.
And maybe a new mattress, because it's not just the amount of time you spend sleeping that keeps you lean, it's also the quality of your sleep. Fat cells in your body produce a hormone called leptin that helps the body keep track of how much potential energy (i.e. fat) it has stored. But leptin is only produced during certain stages of sleep. Miss out on those stages because you're not resting soundly enough, and you'll disturb levels of the hormone, leaving your body with no real idea of its energy reserve.

势能的概念是牛顿力学中的，它只与位置有关，好像与“fat”无关--

还是译为“潜能”比较好。
