In this episode, we were thrilled to invite Emily Varon back to speak to use about how sleep impacts our nutrition!

Disclaimer: we do touch on weight from a health perspective

We talked about:
* How sleep impacts our food choices.
* What happens when we sleep: gut regenerates, brains detox, etc.
* When we sleep less than 7 hours per night, leptin and ghrelin up regulate. So you will feel more hungry!
* After 2 nights of only 4-5 hours of sleep, participants ate on average 300-400 more calories on average, mostly of sugar and carbohydrates.
* How short sleep affects your mental health
* Sleep apnoea
* Napping
* Caffeine
