Get good sleep and drink water. Two of the simplest pieces of advice that can go a really long way for your mental and physical health.
Poor sleep results in stress, and to relieve stress, eating is a good remedy. Good in the sense that it seems to work, but it's not healthy. Doing a short workout is probably a lot healthier, but well, you're tired, and doing a workout is not high on the list for most of us.
During sleep is also when your body prepares fat / food to convert into blood sugar. You literally get tired at the end of the day, when you run out of energy that's easily convertible to blood sugar, so your blood sugar levels start dropping, making you tired. If you don't get enough sleep at night, your body doesn't have enough time to prep your food / fat for conversion into blood sugar. As a result, your blood su…

The nature knows how to get its way with all of us =)
Sleep deprivation only gives you the munchies at first.
Just sleep so little that you actually feel sick, and food no longer seems appealing! For added effect, drink so much coffee to stay awake that your stomach hurts.
Not that I am currently doing this or anything.
(Never again.)
I've had one of those crazy weeks that I haven't had for a long time – up until 5-6 in the morning and then back at it again a few hours later. There were times where I almost forgot to eat and then would suddenly find myself starving. A lot of the time I ended up raiding the house for chocolate and other munchy food. I was surprised by the behaviour but put it down to the lack of sleep. Anecdotal, but I definitely n…
As the father of newborn twins, I concur.
Your first kids? I have 2 little girls and I find they help me focus the time I have to be productive. Having said that, I had a friend with twins and every time I saw her she looked like she hadn't slept in days. "Relentless" was her description. Good luck :-)
That's not true. I've been working hard on my side projects after work time and I don't have much sleep unfortunatley. I feel exausted all the time and not exactly hungry, plus to be honest I lost appetite. I'm quite skinny, lean muscle, etc.

If you can, go back to sleep.
Is this a representative sample warranting this level of attention?
Subjects who were deprived of sleep said that they felt hungrier, and had more trouble controlling themselves when faced with the snacks. They ended up consuming nearly twice as much fat and protein as the control group.
So people who were awake more ate more. This would seem to make sense - I have literally never eaten while I was asleep.

Having had more tired workouts than any person should endure: It's not a good choice, either. When you're tired, your injury risk is significantly higher. You have less fine motor control, muscles/tendons are still fairly cold, and your brain is in a slight haze. If you can, go back to sleep.

Except something like 60% of sleep apnea sufferers in the US will never get diagnosed. I used to be one of those people and its only after I switched doctors out of desperation that I was diagnosed. So its hard to tell people to just sleep better if they have a disease, the same way its hard to tell depressed people to just feel better or to think positively. As a society I don't think we fully understand the effects…
And even if you are diagnosed, there is not always a lot you can do about it. I was diagnosed with central sleep apnea about a year ago, and tried BiPAP for about six months. It made absolutely no difference to my sleep.
