"High-calorie foods also became significantly more desirable when participants were sleep-deprived. This combination of altered brain activity and decision-making may help explain why people who sleep less also tend to be overweight or obese." Mathew Walker, author of the study said.People who did not get a proper night sleep we more likely to crave foods high in sugar and salt as their body craved energy. While the study might seem worrying and negative, the good news is the solution is pretty simple.
Walker said that "getting enough sleep is one factor that can help promote weight control by priming the brain mechanisms governing appropriate food choices."So remember the next time you're staying up late watching Netflix, it's not worth it, as it will affect your health pretty badly in the long run.
