Having a hard time resisting a doughnut or biscuits and gravy? You may be hungry for sleep, and experts say there's a big connection between your sleep and your weight, MyFoxAtlanta reported.   The problem may be your bedroom. Over the last decade, several studies have shown how you sleep dramatically affects your weight. The less sleep you get, the more you crave high-fat, high-sugar comfort foods. Psychologist and sleep specialist Dr. Michael Breus said if you can solve your sleep issues, the weight will come off. The first place to start is to look around your bedroom for what's working and what's not working. "Walk into your bedroom and take a look around, and how does it make you feel?" Breus asked. If "stressed" is the answer, Breus said start rethinking your room -- focusing on your senses. First is sight.
