Early bedtimes backfire for night owls? study tests sleep timing to curb teen obesity

NCT ID NCT04992611

Summary

This study tested whether the timing of extra sleep affects what teenagers eat. Researchers worked with 190 healthy teens, comparing 'Morning Larks' and 'Night Owls,' to see if aligning longer sleep with their natural body clock reduces calorie intake and unhealthy foods. The goal is to find better sleep strategies to help prevent obesity and long-term health risks in adolescents.
