Although this is no news (a Google Scholar search with the keywords "sleep deprivation" "caloric intake" will show up plenty of related research dating back at least to 2004), thanks for reminding us of this important aspect of a regular and balanced lifestyle.
On a personal note, I have also noticed that sleep deprivation not only stimulates appetite but also cravings for junk food... potentially again related to leptin levels and the perceived body need for more energy in the form of fats and sugars
