The shortage of sleep affects the level of the hormones regulating the appetite, which increases the desire for high-calorie food, says nource Nancy Foldle from Cleveland clinic. The interview with the expert was published on the website of the Cleveland Clinic.
According to some research, the increase in appetite due to lack of sleep is caused by insufficient supply of brain energy. The body can try to compensate this by accepting excess calories. Other studies show that the lack of sleep prevents the smell of the brain, which also motivates people to choose from sweet, oily and carbohydrates.
Dr. Foldle emphasizes that sleep regulates the production of appetite hormones. These include leptin, a hormone that serves as a level of saturation. The second important factor of nutritional behavior is the level of writing, "hunger hormone, which signals the hypothalamus that the stomach needs food. When the sleeping mode is violated, the first hormone concentration in the blood is decreasing, and the second is growing.
To avoid these types of problems, it is important to maintain a regular sleep schedule, sleeping every day and waking up at the same time. It is also recommended to avoid caffeine after noon.
"Caffeine can have a completely different semester. It can stay in the central nervous system much longer than expected. Some of us are sensitive to it and can use caffeine only in the early morning, "said Dr. Foldle.
