Can liking someone affect your appetite and sleep?

[Gson57]

For the last month or so I haven't been eating nearly as much as I normally do, and I have had a hard time getting to sleep and when I finally do I wake up two or three times during the night. Then a few days ago I tried to find out when this started and I think it started around the time I began to really like a girl that sits in front of me in class.

Do you think that these are related or is it just a coincidence?

You are really excited, so that caused you to have a hard time go going sleep. It hard to sleep if you are really stressed out or full of energy. You might not be eating as much because you aren't stressed as much. Some of the reasons why people overeat if because they are stressed out and this girl makes you feel less stressed that might reduce some of your eating habits

you bet your sweet ass it can! I once liked this girl a lot and she didn't like me back, I couldn't even eat and when I tried to play my favorite video game (gears of war 3 lol), I couldn't do it because I just wasn't in the mood.

Yep. I've lost 13 lbs from appetite loss, have trouble staying asleep, and, I'm irritable. I wake up with thoughts of him. I tracked my appetite loss and sleep issues to the first time I was intimite with him. But, I never realized this happened with guys. I thought it was just with us girls.

No I think it's related. My sleep and appetite are the first thing to go all whacky when I'm emotionally stressed.

It could be coincidence, but that stuff does happen, so yea it does affect appetite and sleep.

[Iamnobody]

definitely. but usually not unless this person is making you upset. in this case I would say it's just coincidental.

The same thing happens to me. I think I lost 5 pounds at one point

It sounds like you're consumed with thoughts of her, emotions about her.

It's pretty normal :-)

[shahab00x]
