How Sleeping Late Wrecks Your Diet

Staying up late to binge watch Bloodline may be one reason you prefer fries over broccoli, suggests a preliminary study that was recently presented at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.

Northwestern University researchers looked at 96 adults, aged 18 to 50, who slept more than 6.5 hours a night. (On average, they logged about 7.5 hours.) The participants wore monitors that measured their sleep and physical activity, and completed food diaries for seven days.
