Do you raid your pantry or Fridge at 9 PM (Hint: You're Not Hungry)!

Here is what is actually happening: You aren't physically hungry...your brain is exhausted.
When mental fatigue and burnout set in after a long day, your brain experiences a severe drop in dopamine and energy. Since glucose is the brain's primary fuel source, acute mental fatigue and exhaustion trick your nervous system into screaming for a quick, hyper-palatable fix- usually sugar, carbs, or salty snacks- and falsely signalling that you need food when you actually just need rest.
When you combine a tired brain with daytime under-eating or irregular meal patterns, those nighttime cravings become completely irresistible.
