It’s not a coincidence that you crave sugar at night time! It actually has a lot to do with sleep and your circadian system. They did a study: Researchers took 93 adolescents and assigned them to five nights of healthy sleep (9.5 hours of sleep) and a separate five nights of short sleep (6.5 hours of sleep). They also asked the participants to record what, when, and how much they ate under each sleep condition. When sleep-deprived, the adolescents consumed more carbohydrates, added sugars, and sweet drinks, and they ate fewer fruits and vegetables. Differences in calories, fats, and carbohydrates were particularly prominent after 9 PM. The summary — you’re craving sweets because you need more sleep. Cool, no?
