Are you continually feeling 😋hungry, even though you are eating mountains of food 🍗🦃🥗🍫this 🎄Christmas.

Well, there could be a few reasons as to why, such as the types of food 🍔🥗🍫you are eating, to how much sleep 😴 you are getting each night.

We also need to remember that our emotions whether that be happy 😄, sad 😢, angry 😡 to being excited all stem from our hormones, which again can be affected exogenously (Externally) or endogenously (Internally).

But do our hormones affect how hungry we are 🍽️, or possibly how much of an appetite we might have?

Well, the short answer is yes.

Firstly, we have Leptin, which is your body’s satiety hormone (Feeling full)🤭

An interesting study at Stanford University discovered that just one night of sleep deprivation 🥱 and poor sleep quality leads to quite a severe suppression of your leptin levels.

This is one of the reasons that you will eat everything insight following a late night, as your “Feeling full” hormone isn’t working correctly.

Then we have Ghrelin, your “Hunger hormone”.😋

Another study showed that just one night of poor quality of sleep led to a 20% increase in ghrelin levels. So again, this may be one reason as to why your appetite goes through the roof 🆙 following a late night, or continually going to bed late.

Improving your sleep 😴 looks like a good place to start if you are continually feeling hungry, or if you just never seem to feel full and ended up eating your bodyweight in cheese 🧀or chocolates 🍫yesterday!!
