What are the effects of eating during the nighttime instead of the daytime? New research, focused on a simulation of night shift work, may hold implications for people eating at atypical times — like those experiencing jet lag, circadian rhythm sleep disorders, or who tend to sleep late during the weekends. A study by investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital indicates eating during the nighttime can lead to glucose intolerance, while limiting meals to the daytime can help regulate bloodstream glucose levels. Nighttime eating appeared to cause a misalignment between the body’s central and peripheral circadian “clocks” — natural timekeepers that regulate physical, mental and behavioral changes over a 24-hour cycle. The researchers’ results are published in Science Advances.
