The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
what happens is that when we're not getting sufficient sleep leptin the signal that says you're satisfied with food stop eating that is imper by way of a lack of sleep if that wasn't bad enough the hormone grin that says no you're not satisfied with your food eat more that's the signal of hunger that increases

shortened/delayed sleep results in a 15-20% drop in leptin (satiety hormone) and a 15-30% increase in ghrelin (hunger hormone).
This means that sleep deprivation can actually change your appetite profile, causing you both to eat more and feel less satisfied.
When you are sleep-deprived, you increase production of a hormone called ghrelin (which makes you want to eat more) and suppress a hormone called leptin (which promotes satiety).
what you find is that when you are underslept the leptin which is saying you're full don't eat anymore that signal gets turned down so it's not particularly volumous anymore so your brain loses the signal of I'm full I'm satisfied and instead growlin is actually ramped up so you start to feel unsatisfied by your food and you will eat more
what we find is that when you start short sleeping people four five six hours a night for one week the appetite hormones that regulate exactly you know that food intake they're called leptin and ghrelin they go in opposite directions in ways that you wish they didn't
it increases a hormone called ghrelin which makes you want to eat more it suppresses a hormone called leptin which says you're satisfied with your food don't eat more
Sleeping 7.7+ hours a night shown to ensure that body's hormones controlling satiation & satisfaction work properly.
10 minutes of bright outdoor light within the first hour of waking anchors the circadian phase and improves sleep onset that night.
Morning sunlight exposure shifts the cortisol awakening response forward, improving daytime alertness.
Long-term morning sunlight reduces age-related macular degeneration risk.
Sleep regularity predicts all-cause mortality more strongly than sleep duration.
Tracking deep sleep on a wearable accurately reflects EEG-measured slow-wave sleep.
Caffeine has a half-life long enough that consumption after 2pm measurably degrades deep sleep in slow metabolizers.
