A study at UChicago and the University of Wisconsin–Madison looked into improving people’s sleep habits, and found that more sleep had a knock-on effect on caloric intake.
Previous studies have shown that sleep restriction can have knock-on effect on appetite and lead to increased food consumption, Esra Tasali, who headed up the study, toldUChicago Medicine. That prompted the question if increased sleep could have the opposite effect.
Interestingly, the research took a ‘real world’ approach: participants followed their normal lifestyle, with no manipulation or control of their diet or exercise regime (“This was not a weight-loss study,” said Esra). The only self-monitoring was sleep, logged using asleep tracker.
