Summary

This study looked at how getting more sleep at the right time of day affects what teenagers eat. Researchers compared teens who are natural morning people (morning larks) with those who are night owls. The goal is to understand why sleep helps some teens eat less and make healthier food choices, so we can design better ways to prevent obesity.
