Board-certified nutrition specialist Chen Ben Asher in her clients have also noticed that people night snacking or crawling for some additional “food booster” during the day doesn’t seem a problem for them.

There is a scientific explanation for this occurrence, which has to do with ghrelin and leptin hormones. They regulate hunger and have a direct negative effect on a lack of sleep. They usually work so that ghrelin promotes appetite, but leptin decreases it. Otherwise, “When the body is sleep-deprived, the level of ghrelin spikes, while the level of leptin falls, leading to an increase in hunger.”
That is not all! Chen Ben Asher has seen that many people have increased appetite for junk food or sweets, especially towards evening to the extent that they think that they cannot do anything about it.
