Short sleep raises the hunger hormone ghrelin and lowers leptin, which helps you feel full. People who sleep less than 6 hours tend to eat more the next day.

Five habits for better sleep

  • Keep a consistent bedtime — even on weekends.
  • Stop caffeine (including buna) after 2 pm.
  • Dim screens an hour before bed.
  • Keep your room cool and dark.
  • Get morning sunlight.
