Published January 5, 2021

          Top takeaways:

          • Not getting enough sleep can impact appetite hormones (leptin and ghrelin) that affect feelings of hunger and fullness.

          • To make better choices after a bad night’s sleep:

          - Remember to eat and drink consistently

          - Stock up on ZeroPoint foods

          - Consider coffee (yes, really!)

          - Just go to bed
