cant stop eating junk food

Eating too much junk food? You just might want to go to sleep then. For two studies - one with call-center employees and the other with workers in the IT field - found that lack of sleep increased stress and, therefore, led to eating junk food.


  • People who experience stress at work tend to have increased negative feelings about themselves, which often translates to eating more junk food.
  • People who get a good night’s sleep, though, will eat better food, even though they experienced the same stressful conditions
  • Overall, a good night’s sleep can give you less stress during the day - and more control over your eating.
