When suffering from stress there is an over production of the stress hormone Cortisol which interferes with the sleep hormone Melatonin.

When excess Cortisol interferes with the production of melatonin, it interferes with your biological clock – affecting your ability to sleep soundly, think clearly, remember things and therefore make sound decisions.

Poor sleep leads to more stress; as negative thoughts intrude into your daily life and everyday worries then feel out of proportion. Ultimately your self-esteem, self-image and confidence suffers.

When you wake up stressed and lack quality sleep often a stimulate such as coffee or high sugar food is consumed to artificially boost energy levels. Eating high sugar items to boost your energy raises your blood sugar levels too high, too quickly. Your body then releases insulin to normalise the levels, they drop suddenly and you again crave more sweet food, as you seek more energy. This is an unhealthy state of “energy bounce”. This can lead to mood swings and a love-hate relationship with food, as poor food choices, (high in energy but not nutritionally sound) lead to weight gain and inconsistent energy levels.

A cycle started by stress is then in place; feeling stressed, not sleeping adequately, less energy, making poor food choices - leading to ‘’bouncing’’ blood sugar levels, more weight gain, feeling less confident as your self-esteem and decision making is poorer and then feeling more stress, and more prone to poor food choices.

Taking action to break this cycle starts at the first stage; addressing negative stress and its associated feelings from your life. This leads to better sleep, better mood, better performance, better self-esteem and confidence, and reducing the desire to crave sugary foods; Breaking the cycle completely!
