Exhaustion and over eating

Should exhaustion always equal eating more? I'm not tired from working out, just tired from being up often with my baby. A nap isn't an option because I work fulltime and have multiple children at home. Are there any tricks to not being overly hungry while so tired? I need help.

    I suspect its about what you eat rather than how much - if the food is the problem at all. Its normal to be tired with a young baby!

    In general, try grazing on dried fruit and nuts (small amounts every hour or so) rather than increasing meal size.

    It makes sense that if you're exhausted, your body is trying to get more energy somehow. You could try sucking on a hard candy when you feel hungry. It takes awhile to eat those thing.
