There's some body chemistry where being sleep deprived can manifest itself as hunger. I forget the details, but I read about it in "Why We Sleep"[0].

When I had a sleep study done, the pre-study questionnaire seemed to have more about depression symptoms than about sleep itself.

I always tell myself, my coworkers, and my kids "If you don't sleep, eat" (else you might go totally bonkers).
