Too much light at night at night may lead to obesity, study finds

LOL, I had to read the title about 5 times until I figured out the error.

I need more coffee.

[GeronL]

what??

darkness helps us lose weight?

[Sacajaweau]

DUMB.......

[CIB-173RDABN]

I would say it was the refrigerator light coming on during a midnight snack that is the cause for the weight gain.

My advise, unscrew the refrigeator bulb. ;-)

[Sacajaweau]

Is there really an obesity epidemic?? Or do we just want everyone to eat the same thing at the same time so we can calculate "time of death" with the same exactness as climate change.

How much weight is too much weight. I'm sick of being "charted".

[EGPWS]

So, how much did this pertinent information cost us?

[married21]

Perhaps that contributes to the “freshman 10” that people gain when they go to college. Not just the extra snacks, but the late nights by the desk lamp studying.

That classic slow Chicago blues tune by Jimmy Reed classic, “Bright Lights, big city. Goin’ to my baby's head” might need an update.

Unbelievable that this type of stuff is what our money goes to. Seriously, who comes up with this stuff?

[GOP Poet]

I have this problem as sometimes I have to write at night through the night and it sets off my poor eating habits. I am very, very disciplined in my eating even counting calories daily. Yet when I stay up even one night a week to write through the night, I do have weight gain and it screws up my eating cycle that next day and often days to follow even with a regimented workout schedule. It is critical if one wants to maintain weight or lose it that they sleep atleast 7-8 hours a night if this is what works for their body. (and eat and workout appropriately for body size and need.)

Is it time for Corey Hart to hit the infomercials with his new "Sunglasses at Night" diet plan?

[Chasaway]

Seems odd, but this is a good book that seems to back it up...

"Lights Out: Sleep, Sugar and Survival"

The theory has quite a dedicated following...

[GOP_Lady]

A polite FYI ...

It’s THE Ohio State University.

Go Bucks! :-)

So, it’s not the expose to light that results in weight gain, but that being awake at night results in the likelihood a rat will eat more, which results in weight gain. Correlational studies are typical for for providing misleading information.

We got paid to do a study on how to make mice fat Then we ate them.

[wyokostur]

*In one study, mice exposed to light at night – but that had food availability restricted to normal eating times – gained no more weight than did mice in a normal light-dark cycle.*

Restricted diet = no weight gain...what a concept. Simple, take in more calories than you burn = weight gain, no matter what time of day or night you eat.
