A new study published online recently in the American Journal of Health Promotion suggests that keeping to a consistent sleep routine may help people maintain a healthier weight.
Bruce Bailey, a professor in exercise science at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT, and colleagues found that women who woke at the same time and went to sleep at the same every day had lower body fat.
Prof. Bailey suggests going to bed late and sleeping in may do more harm than good:
"We have these internal clocks and throwing them off and not allowing them to get into a pattern does have an impact on our physiology."
