How much sleep you get may be just as important as exercise and what you eat. If you don’t get the necessary sleep your body requires, your brain will search for energy elsewhere, such as high-calorie foods and sugars.

These 2 buddies are there to balance out your cravings, but lack of sleep makes them unbalanced.
