Hey Sleepyhead, When you don't sleep enough, your hunger hormone (ghrelin) spikes and your fullness hormone (leptin) crashes; meaning you eat more, crave sugar and carbs, and your metabolism slows down all at once. Studies show sleep-deprived people consume up to 500 extra calories a day. Not from lack of discipline. From biology. In Malaysia, where late nights are the norm and cheap, delicious food is everywhere at midnight, this combination is quietly driving our weight and health in the wrong direction. The fix isn't a new diet. It's better sleep; consistent, cool, uninterrupted. And that starts with the right environment. |
