How sleeping late in night makes you fat

People  with a healthy BMI who go for sleep between 7am and 11pm eat less than those people who go to bed between 11pm and 3am, according to researchers found that.

Going for a sleep after 11pm may be linked to eating more food and higher in calories, new figures have revealed out.

Interestingly and more specifically,people those who bedded down at around 9:30pm ate 220 fewer calories the next day that those who went for bed at 2:30am.

This data was compiled from users of  fitness tracking app which documents the behaviors such as sleep as well as heart rate.

Most the data also showed that Jawbone users who reported being overweight or obese based on their BMIs were more likely to be log eating more calories if they went to the bed between 10pm and 2am.

All the data analysts at the fitness app believe that sleeping may make people feel less hungry, or encourage them to eat food low in calories.

The researchers made the findings by analysing data from hundreds of thousands of Jawbone UP users all over the world. A user’s total hours of sleep, average bedtime, age, gender, BMI, and food entries were also considered - taking it into account the fact that people can underestimate what they consume.

Early birds, people who slept between 7pm and 11pm overall ate more vegetables, fruit, high-fibre carbohydrates such as oatmel, lean proteins and fats from unprocessed sources such as nuts.

Night owls, however, were more likely to drink caffeine and alcohol, refined sugars including honey, processed carbohydrates such as bread, processed meats, and saturated fats such  cheese  and the butter.

The analysts cautioned that the study reflected a link between sleep and food only, but as well as said that this may not be the cause.

On the same time it is also important to note that people those who use tracking apps are more likely to be from a demographic which is already health-conscious.

The research has mirrors peer-reviewed scientific studies which shown the link between lack of sleep and the weight gain.

This findings comes after a study by researchers at the University of Chicago found that getting too little sleep may trigger the same part of the brain that gives marijuana users the urge to eat, also known as the munchies.

Researchers has found that restricting sleep affects the chemical pathways which regulate hunger and pleasure.
