Obesity and sleep disorders
It seems that all roads theres day lead to obesity, which is becoming the scourge of the modern world. according to a study in Science Translational Medicine, sleep cycle disruptions combined with sleep deprivation can increase the risk of obesity and diabetes.
Researchers from Bringham and Womens Hospital found that when volunteers were subjected to sleep cycle changes and sleep deprivation, their resting metabolic rate ( the rate at which your body burns calories) fell by 8%. Over a year, with diet and exercise remaining constant, this could translate to a 10 pound weight gain. Researchers suggest this might explain why night shift workers tend to gain more weight and have a higher likelihood of becoming Obese than day workers.
Additionally study subjects experienced a decrease in insulin levels, which resulted in higher blood glucose levels, in some instances to levels considered pre-diabetic.
The study covered a six week period which included 3 weeks of normal sleep followed by 3 weeks of disrupted sleep.
