Not Getting Enough Sleep Leads To Unhealthy Cravings
Scientific research has shown that people with bad sleeping habits have bad eating habits as well. When you don’t rest enough, your brain calls for junk food and sweet treats with irresistible cravings.
It comes without saying processed food and sugary treats have their own downside, and can lead to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, chronic inflammation, and even some types of cancer.
If you’re having trouble sleeping and you feel hungry, a good idea would be to satisfy your cravings with healthier snacks like air-popped popcorn, nuts and seeds, dried fruit or sliced veggies.
There’s a good chance you don’t have a stable eating schedule, which might be causing you sleeping problems in the first place. Wake up early and enjoy a hearty breakfast. Don’t skip lunch and have a light dinner at least a few hours before going to bed. That’s the right way to go.
