Sometimes overeating is not just the reason for not controlling itself, in fact, persistent stress can also lead to overeating. Studies show that when cortisol is released, appetite increases. It’s called a term “Stress eating”, And the hormones are behind it. Similarly, sleep deprivation can also release cortisol and thus drive an individual to a phase of stress eating.
Fixing the sleep schedule, adapting activities such as meditation and training to free up stress can help individuals who eat too much because they are stressed.
