EFFECTS OF SLEEP RESTRICTION ON WEIGHT GAIN, CALORIC INTAKE, AND MEAL TIMING Effects of Experimental Sleep Restriction on Weight Gain, Caloric Intake, and Meal Timing in Healthy Adults Study Objectives: Examine sleep

Conclusions: In the largest, most diverse healthy sample studied to date under controlled laboratory conditions, sleep restriction promoted weight gain. Chronically sleep-restricted adults with late bedtimes may be more susceptible to weight gain due to greater daily caloric intake and the consumption of calories during late-night hours.
