Sleep and Appetite

It seems that everything is related to our quality of sleep. This article explains how the lack of sleep triggers a hormone in the blood that stimulates appetite and a desire for high-calorie food.

Another article I read indicates additionally that the lack of sleep also suppresses a hormone that tells the brain to stop eating. I was not aware of this until now so paying attention to food choices especially when not sleeping well is clearly very important as you run the risk of adding further health challenges if you have an unhealthy diet.
