Eating when you should be sleeping can cause problems for your brain
Whether you've woken up in the middle of the night and treated yourself to a midnight snack, or decided to have a pizza on the way home from a night on the town, eating late at night can potentially cause havoc with your brain. Research has found that eating when we should be sleeping can push our circadian rhythms out of sync and lead to a lower quality of sleep overall.
Those conclusions are based on a study of lab mice by scientists from the University of California. Mice are nocturnal, so sleep during the day: when one group was encouraged to eat during the day for two weeks, they had more frequent and shorter bouts of sleep than the group that was eating normally. The mice were all getting the same amount of sleep, but those whose routines had been disrupted weren't enjoying the same benefits.
