Sleep quality significantly influences appetite regulation through hormonal balance. Poor sleep can lead to alterations in ghrelin and leptin, hormones responsible for hunger and satiety. When sleep-deprived, ghrelin levels rise, stimulating appetite, while leptin levels decrease, impairing the feeling of fullness. This imbalance can contribute to increased cravings for high-calorie foods and lead to overeating. Long-term poor sleep quality is linked to weight gain and metabolic disorders. Prioritizing good sleep hygiene practices can improve appetite control and support healthier eating habits.
