Warning: Staying Up Late Encourages Weight Gain...
Dear Reader,
Interesting news on sleeping patterns and eating habits. If you're a night owl, someone who comes alive after 11:00 pm, and you're trying to lose weight, there's a new study that might interest you.
A team of researchers from Northwestern University found that subjects who stayed up late took in about 248 added calories a day, and are more likely to eat unhealthy food than those who follow the "early to bed, early to rise" habit. The work, one of the first in the United States to look at sleeping pattern, dietary behavior and weight, appears online in the journal Obesity.
The study involved 51 adults, average age 30 years old. Twenty-three of the subjects usually went to bed by 3:45am and were up by 10:45am, while the other half turned in by 12:30am and were awake by 8:00am.
When it came to mealtimes, night owls ate breakfast at noon, lunch about 3:00pm and dinner just after 8:00pm, with a final meal at 10 o'clock at night. More traditional sleepers ate their meals at more accepted times - breakfast by 9:00am, lunch at one and dinner at 7, with a final snack by 8:30 at night. Participants recorded eating and sleeping patterns in logs, while also wearing a wrist actigraph to measure sleep/activity cycles.
The study found that night owls took in more calories, 248 added calories a day to be exact, while their diet had two times the amount of fast food, sugar laden soda, as well as half as many fruits and veggies as the diets of those with more traditional sleep patterns. What's worse for weight loss is that the extra calories were eaten later in the day. Not surprisingly, those who kept the later hours also had higher body mass indexes (BMIs) than did those who followed a more typical sleeping pattern.
Could it be that healthy alternatives just aren't available at all hours?

Warning: Staying Up Late Encourages Weight Gain... Continued...
It is likely that those extra calories, and when they are eaten, have a significant
impact on how much weight you carry. Over time, eating and sleeping patterns
like this can put on as much as 2 pounds a month according to study co-lead author
Kelly Glazer Baron, neurology instructor and health psychologist at Northwestern's
Fienberg School of Medicine.
Study senior author Dr. Phyllis Zee points out that our circadian rhythms for
sleep and metabolism are synched by nature to the daily rotation of the earth.
Our internal clocks are set to sleep when it gets dark and eat during daylight.
When sleep and eating aren't aligned with this internal rhythm, this brings changes
in appetite and metabolism, and these encourage weight gain.
Eating unhealthy foods at the wrong time might also increase your risk of heart
disease, stroke, diabetes and gastrointestinal problems. If you're trying to
lose weight, it makes sense to pay attention to your sleeping patterns... when
you're eating and how much time you're allowing for being active during your
day.
Having said this, if you're one of those unique souls who enjoys the quiet of
the night... this study isn't suggesting you change your ways, instead it points
up the need to be aware of taking in large numbers of calories at precisely the
wrong time of day (or night). If it's midnight and you're just settling down
to "lunch", you need to make some healthy food choices to balance the other challenges
you have to maintaining a healthy weight.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
