“Dr. Michael Grandner describes this as the "mind after midnight"— being awake past our normal bedtime biases us toward reward-seeking, negative affect, and weaker executive control, helping explain not only late-night eating (a preference for energy-dense, high-fat, and high-sugar foods) but other impulsive behaviors that occur at this time.”

“These variations may explain associations between meal timing, obesity, and related metabolic disorders. Time-restricted eating resets the circadian clock to promote metabolic health. Learn more about time-restricted eating in our overview article.”

“These findings suggest that restricting mealtimes to daytime hours can offset the mood-altering effects of misaligned circadian rhythms. Learn more about the effects of time-restricted eating on circadian rhythms in this clip featuring Dr. Satchin Panda.”

“If the microbes' diurnal pattern is disrupted, he says, the host has an increased risk of obesity and diabetes – diseases that are associated with altered sleep/wake cycles, such as those experienced with shift work. Normalizing the timing of food intake via time-restricted eating may help restore microbiome composition, potentially offsetting the increased disease risk.”

“However, as DNA damage accumulates over time, sirtuins become distracted by having to facilitate DNA repair to properly regulate gene activity. As a result, this leads to a breakdown in the cell's ability to properly regulate which genes are switched on and off during the aging process.”

“Learn more about dietary strategies, drugs, and bioactive compounds that may promote longevity in our overview articles about caloric restriction, time-restricted eating, metformin, and resveratrol. Link to study abstract.”

“These findings suggest that night shift work alters circadian DNA repair mechanisms and promotes DNA damage, thereby increasing cancer risk. One strategy for ameliorating the harmful effects of night shift work is time-restricted eating.”

“The authors of the study reviewed data from 33 studies investigating the health effects of various patterns of intermittent fasting. These patterns included alternate-day fasting, time-restricted eating, and 5:2 intermittent fasting.”

“Dr. Brooks's exact practice of waking 96 minutes before dawn comes from the Vedic concept of Brahma Muhurta rather than a tested clinical protocol. Creatine may provide modest cognitive benefits in some settings, although results in healthy adults are mixed.”

“Mindfulness helps reward-based eaters recognize habits that undermine healthy eating patterns and behaviors and moderate intake. Learn more about Dr. Ashley Mason Learn more about the HEAT BED Study - currently recruiting! Sleep, Eating, and Affect Lab.”
