Inadequate <strong>sleep</strong> is bad for health because it <strong>can</strong> disturb the functionality of the<br />
entire body. The inefficiency of <strong>sleep</strong> will make you feel lethargic and when you<br />
feel lethargic you will end up eating more than usual. Lack of <strong>sleep</strong> <strong>can</strong> trigger<br />
overeating as the body tries to compensate for the lack of energy.<br />
Unhealthy diet leads to <strong>sleep</strong> deprivation and if the unhealthy eating continues<br />
then the obesity will lead other serious health issues like diabetes, cardiovascular<br />
diseases, and weight gain. It is important that you have a balanced diet so that the<br />
body has the right nutrients and is able to relax.<br />

The carbohydrate-rich diet <strong>can</strong> induce <strong>sleep</strong>. If the meals have too much<br />
carbohydrate or too little carbohydrates then it will disturb the <strong>sleep</strong> pattern.<br />
People consuming few carbohydrates need less restorative time. If the<br />
carbohydrate percentage in the meals is not right then there is a high chance of<br />
disturbing the <strong>sleep</strong> cycle.<br />
Highly processed <strong>food</strong> is also a culprit when it comes to disrupted <strong>sleep</strong>. Try not to<br />
eat <strong>food</strong>s that have high sugar content especially before the <strong>sleep</strong> time. The sugar<br />
gives the body a boost of energy making it hard for it to relax and go to <strong>sleep</strong> at<br />
the right time. It is important that there is a gap between eating and <strong>sleep</strong> time.<br />
Diet has a serious impact on the <strong>sleep</strong> pattern and quality. If you are having a hard<br />
time <strong>sleep</strong>ing and failing to get the hours you need then it is important that you<br />
take a look at <strong>your</strong> diet.
