Fasting Late at Night Good for the Brain


For sleep-deprived night owls, eating less during late night hours may help curb the deficits in concentration and alertness that accompany sleep deprivation, new research hints.


“Adults consume approximately 500 additional calories during late-night hours when they are sleep restricted,” senior investigator David F. Dinges, PhD, head of the Division of Sleep and Chronobiology, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine (UPenn), Philadelphia, noted in statement.


“Our research found that refraining from late-night calories helps prevent some of the decline those individuals may otherwise experience in neurobehavioral performance during sleep restriction,” Dr Dinges said.
