At night there are two hormones that work on your body, namely ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin is a hormone that increases hunger, while leptin decreases appetite.

“If the hormone works when we sleep, it’s okay. But when we wake up, that’s the temptation (hunger) starts there. Usually the hunger exceeds during the day. Well, at that time sometimes people tend to eat foods high in calories and sugar,” he explained.
