The actual impact of sleep on our bodies is often underestimated by many people. This from an expert " Lack of sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate hunger and fullness, leading to increased appetite and cravings. Adequate sleep (7 to 9 hours per night) is crucial for maintaining a healthy weight."

Thanks for the info, and I think lack of sleep can also make you loss some weight in a bad state.

Except people rarely if ever get that. Let's face it, very few people manage a full eight hours. Our world doesn't work like our bodies think it should.

Yes, it does. I get cranky if I haven't gotten enough.
