"Sleep and eating are intimately linked." "Insomnia and poor sleep quality have been linked with a higher risk of obesity." Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle writer for Fox News Digital.

"Sleep and eating are intimately linked due to their shared involvement in both metabolic signaling and your body’s circadian rhythms," he said.
