睡眠不足-容易感冒(4)

You're Ravenous¹

 

变得贪吃

 

If you find yourself hungry all day （and not because you skipped breakfast or have recently amped up your gym routine）it might be because you've been skimping² on sleep.

 

Research presented at the 2010 meeting of theSociety for the Study of Ingestive Behavior linked little shut eye with higher levels of the hormone³ ghrelin, the same one that triggers hunger, Huff Post reported.

 

You Can't Shake That Cold

 

If you keep coming down with the sniffles -- orcan't seem to kick that never-ending case -- you might want to assess your sleep schedule. A 2009 study found that people who sleep fewer than seven hours each night have almost three times the risk of catching⁴ a cold than people whoslept for at least eight hours, the LA Times reported.
