Late Night Bedtime Linked to Additional Body Weight

late night bedtime

A new analysis done by American scientists shows that going to bed at very later hours can cause weight gain, according the articles published in medical journals. The research discovered a correlation between sleep and BMI (Body Mass Index). Experts’ conclusions are showing that teenagers and adults who go to sleep very late are a lot mere predisposed to put on extra body weight than people that have an early bedtime every night.

Scientists compiled the figures from over 3,000 people, both youngsters and mature subjects, and they discovered a gain of 2 lbs on their BMI for a lost hour of sleep. Interestingly, they noticed that the excess weight in BMI remained despite the study members’ routine of exercise, computer and TV screen time or the hours they rested overall.

Our BMI is measured using the human body’s size and weight and it is a viable measurement for estimating excess body weight and obesity rates. A good BMI is considered to be between 18 and 25. A BMI between 25.0 and 30 is considered excess weight and over is categorized as obese.

The information that scientists used came from different health organizations and governmental authorities. The research has been documenting the actions of American teenagers since 1995. In this new analysis, they compared teens’ BMI and their bedtime at the beginning of adolescence, during their college years and after graduation.

All results emphasize the importance of adolescent bedtime, not just the total of sleep time. This factor could be used as a prospective target for body weight reduction during the transformation to maturity.

Doctors also said that adolescents who go to sleep in the first hours of the night set the body weight on a better course while they get into maturity. Previous reviews and research have proved that teenagers do not get the suggested amount of rest each day, and many of them are having difficulties remaining alert and focused in school.

Other research have indicated a connection between those who stay late at night and psychological problems. It seems that individuals who are going to sleep later have a higher risk of suffering of depressive disorders and other medical related affections.

The experts’ goal is that the outcomes of their analysis will motivate teenagers to be a lot more conscious about the negative influence of late-night behavior. Despite the stress, they want to be part of a social group, especially in college-type environments. Even if the youngsters know the advantages of early bedtime, it might be challenging to sustain that kind of routine while being in high school or college.

Habits are difficult to change as well. When teenagers are used to sleep from 1 AM during high school, they will have difficulties modifying this pattern once they live on their own. Their parents will have to observe their kids more carefully and create a proper schedule for sleep, since this earlier bedtime habit at a younger age will be a lot easier to maintain during teenage years and maturity.
