Some interesting finding from Northwestern Medicine study Sleep Late = Weight Gain
According to the study
– Late sleepers consumed 248 more calories a day,
twice as much fast food and half as many fruits and vegetables as those with earlier sleep times.
According to the Author, Prof Phyllis Zee, M.D.
– “Human circadian rhythms in sleep and metabolism are synchronized to the daily rotation of the earth,
so that when the sun goes down you are supposed to be sleeping, not eating,” Zee said.
(That is why we are teaching the TCM Biological Clock & Lifestyle in Meridian Massage Comprehensive workshop)
“When sleep and eating are not aligned with the body’s internal clock, it can lead to changes in appetite and metabolism, which could lead to weight gain.“
The research findings could be relevant to people who are not very successful in losing weight, Zee said.
“The study suggests regulating the timing of eating and sleep could improve the effectiveness of weight management programs,” she said.
The findings also have relevance for night-shift workers, who eat at the wrong time of day related to their bodies’ circadian rhythms.
“It’s midnight, but they’re eating lunch,” Zee said. “Their risk for obesity as well as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and gastrointestinal disorders is higher.”
In fact, there is another article mentioning that sleeping late cause hormonal changes that will induce overeating during day time.
For late sleeper, may be you can consider to do adjustment on your sleeping habit now 🙂
