Sleep and Appetite
I have been wondering if I am not getting enough sleep and started doing some research.

Apparently lack of sleep messes with our hormones and the net effect is that we don't feel as satisfied after we eat AND lack of sleep also makes us want to eat MORE.

This might explain why I feel so hungry before bed but not so much in the morning.

Do any of you have a sleep goal or have you noticed sleep patterns effecting your success or setbacks?

So what's the connection to sleep? "When you don't get enough sleep, it drives leptin levels down, which means you don't feel as satisfied after you eat. Lack of sleep also causes ghrelin levels to rise, which means your appetite is stimulated, so you want more food," Breus tells WebMD.

The two combined, he says, can set the stage for overeating, which in turn may lead to weight gain.

I get plenty of sleep. At night, I drink extra water to feel full.
