🍔 YOUR APPETITE CAN CHANGE
Sleep also interacts with the systems involved in appetite and energy regulation.
When you’re exhausted, high-calorie and highly palatable foods can become much more tempting.
That’s why the day after a poor night’s sleep can feel like a battle between:
“I should eat healthy.”
and
“I NEED something sweet.”
This doesn’t mean one bad night will suddenly make you gain weight.
The bigger concern is what happens when poor sleep becomes a habit.
