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.
