Being A Night Owl Could Be Making You Fat And Sick, Here's How

Whether you are an early bird or a night owl, your sleep patterns can tell a lot about a person’s eating habits and subsequently the potential health risks. Professor Rozanne Kruger from Griffith University’s School of Allied Health, Sport and Social Work studied 287 European and Pacific New Zealand women aged between 18-45 years and assessed if they were morning chronotypes (early bird) or an evening chronotype (night owl). The paper titled ‘Chronotype and associations with dietary intake, meal timing, body composition, and metabolic biomarkers’ has been published in Frontiers in Nutrition.
