1. Sleep Deprived = Uncontrollable Food Cravings
You can’t lose weight because you can’t stop eating. Is it a lack-of-willpower?
Actually, it’s worse. Willpower is rarely enough to override the biochemical reactions bombarding a sleep-deprived body.
In a normal body, after eating, the hormone Leptin signals to the body “I’m full!” Naturally, you’ll stop eating.
Similarly, when malnourished, the hormone Ghrelin will signal to the body “I’m hungry!” You’ll be provoked to go get something to eat.
Tragically, when sleep deprived, Leptin levels are Low. THERE IS NO SIGNAL TO STOP EATING!
And…
…in a sleep deprived body, Ghrelin levels are high. The body is SCREAMING “I’M HUNGRY!”
