Poor sleep is associated with worse diet quality, and sleeping less causes people to eat more — and more of the wrong things. This article will discuss the bi-directional relationship between sleep and diet, explore the mechanisms of sleep-promoting foods, and explain why you might crave junk food when you’re sleep-deprived.
