Sleep and Hunger
Oct. 10th, 2006 03:06 pmDid you know that sleep deprivation has been linked to overeating? Apparently it increases a hunger hormone and decreases the "you're full now" hormone.
I knew it but I didn't *know* it, if you know what I mean.
I've been sleeping very little for the last few days, and spending a lot of time feeling hungry when I know I'm not. It's been very confusing. Finally I remembered reading the above factoid somewhere, and googled it.
Yep, it's true.
