Yes, this is an important link. The function is partly related to the stress hormone cortisol. If we don't handle cortisol adequately, it can lead to weight gain.
Sleep deprivation and stress are connected this way. If you get adequate sleep and manage your stress through relaxation, exercise, and other mental activities, you will avoid cortisol-related weight gain.
