Episode notes

After a bad night of sleep, cravings often hit hard — for bread, pizza, salty snacks, or sugar.

In this episode of Research & Chill, we break down the science behind why poor sleep quietly changes appetite, hunger hormones, and food choices — without blame or hype.

We talk about how sleep affects what your body asks for, why willpower isn’t the full story, and how small changes still matter.

No rules. No food shaming. Just research explained calmly and clearly.
