When you don’t get the hours of sleep that your body needs or your sleep is not restful, your hormones get out of whackespecially the hormone ghrelin, that causes you to want to eat more food, particularly high-carb foods. That’s not a good thing! Thank about it. You don’t get enough sleep and your body says eat! Sound familiar?
But that’s not all. The hormone leptin, which controls the appetite, goes downso there’s very little to keep ghrelin in check. Simply said, THE “EAT MORE” HORMONES OUTNUMBER THE “EAT LESS” HORMONES. One study found that participants who had the largest fluctuation of hormones craved the most fattening foods such as ice cream, cakes, candy, and salty snacks such as potato chips.
