This is one of the easiest traps to fall into...we pick up an item promoted to be healthy, and never check the label.

Lack of sleep and food desire go hand-in-hand. In fact, lack of sleep alters our appetite-regulating hormones, which can increase our consumption of calorie-dense foods and contribute to weight gain.

More specifically, lack of sleep causes the hunger-stimulating hormone ghrelin to increase, which causes you to eat more. It also decreases levels of the appetite-suppressing hormone leptin. Cortisol, the stress hormone, may increase, stimulating your appetite.

Together, all of this serves to increase your desire for sugar. This happens because sugar causes a release of dopamine in your brain, and that is a feel-good chemical. Eating that sugary treat gives you a temporary feeling of pleasure and allows you to avoid that feeling of exhaustion. However, it is only a temporary fix. Instead, seek to get a good night of sleep, and keep those cravings at bay!😴
