You Crave Junk Food

If you’ve just gotten out of bed after a sleepless night and feel the sudden urge to grab a burger and fries, know that this could be caused by a lack of ZZZs. It’s normal for us to crave junk food when we’re sleep-deprived, on top of the fact that, as we said earlier, our hunger hormones may be unbalanced.

But the issue here may go deeper than that. Without sufficient sleep, your decision-making isn’t as sharp. Other desires can take over and you’ll have a harder time fighting them.

Try to cut out junk food from your pantry, fridge, and freezer while you’re looking for solutions to get a better night’s sleep.
