“There’s a scientific reason you crave junk food when you don’t get enough sleep”

The scientific reason is that I am starved!

Cause sugar and carbs will help keep you going!

I worked midnights for 23 years. The only things proven to keep you awake overnight are a high carb diet and a buttload of artificial lighting.

If you have plenty of sleep but can’t get the munchies going smoke some pot. Chinese diner with lots of rice will make you hungry also.

The solution to insomnia is a sleep mask.
Pitch black, not even dim light thru your eyelids, stimulates melatonin, the brain’s natural sleep hormone.

I wish I’d known this decades ago. I’m finally sleeping deeply 8 hours. When the alarm sounds, off comes the mask, in comes the sunlight & serotonin, and I’m up.

Also, I don’t eat or drink 3 hours before bed. Makes me want to pee all night.

Food is sleep and sleep is food.

I thought everybody knew that. If you lack food sleep gives you a bit of added energy and if you are short on sleep food provides an energy boost.

Both are short term solutions but they work well.

All I see there is carbs. Not good.
