Studies find that being overtired and sleepy can cause up to an excess of 550 added calories taken in. The connection between sleep and food is complex but our bodies need food "and" sleep, and many times when we are overtired our bodies mistake that for being hungry and in turn we reach for fuel. Remember a few things, "when" we eat is also connected to "how" we sleep and that affects what our bodies do with the calories, if they are eaten to close to sleep time it can affect our weight by turning those calories into fat instead of burning them off. Our bodies are meant to heal during sleep, cognitive abilities improve with proper amounts of sleep and you'll have a longer lifespan and less stress! So focus as much on the importance of your sleep as you do on your waking hours during the day and you'll have more days to live for!
