                                According to a study from the Cleveland Clinic, stress and poor sleep can significantly disrupt the hormones that regulate appetite. For many, the transition from a busy workday to evening downtime triggers an intense, often insatiable, hunger. This post-work hunger can sabotage health goals and lead to mindless eating, but it isn't simply a lack of willpower. Several physiological and psychological factors are at play, driving the urge to eat as soon as you walk through the door.
