Below is a short adaptation from a book about sleep just released in paperback.

I know most of us know sleep is important to all aspects of health, but this article drives the point home. I am going to have to try to get to bed earlier, especially on the days when I have to get up at 6:30.

From the article:

"Even moderate reductions in sleep for just one week disrupts blood sugar levels so profoundly that you would be classified as pre-diabetic."

"Perhaps you have also noticed a desire to eat more when you’re tired? This is no coincidence. Too little sleep swells concentrations of a hormone that makes you feel hungry, while suppressing a companion hormone that signals food satisfaction."


We can low carb all we want, but we're not going to get very far if we're not getting enough sleep.

Do you eat more when you are sleep deprived? I know I do. I have less self-control.
