via papertissueBeing tired can make you fat. Getting inadequate sleep probably won't make you eat bigger meals but it WILL make you snack too much during the day says a recent study from the University of Chicago Medical Center. Adults ate 221 more calories from snack foods when they got only 5 1/2 hours of sleep, compared to those who got 8 hours of sleep, and the majority of these calories were from refined carbs. Having small, healthy snacks in between meals is a great way to keep hunger at bay and rev metabolism but lack of sleep can lead to snack options with little nutrition value and possibly send your blood sugars soaring and crashing - leading you to look for yet another snack.
