Not getting enough sleep changes your hunger hormones, making you feel more hungry and less full. This happens because your body's natural appetite controls get thrown off balance when you're tired.

See the scientific wording

Sleep insufficiency is associated with specific hormonal changes, including elevated ghrelin levels and reduced leptin levels, which are key hormones responsible for regulating hunger and satiety signals in the human body. These hormonal shifts represent a fundamental physiological response to inadequate rest that directly influences appetite regulation pathways.
