Early starts followed by late weekend lie-ins can scramble our body clocks Credit: Alamy. Many people think that the reason you gain more weight if you eat late at night is because you have less opportunity to burn off those calories, but this is simplistic.
So, what else could be going on? Another possibility is that late-night eating extends the overall window during which food is consumed. This gives our digestive systems less time to recuperate and reduces the opportunity for our bodies to burn fat — because fat-burning only occurs when our organs realise that no more food is coming their way.
Prior to the invention of electric light, humans woke at roughly around dawn and went to bed several hours after the sun set, with almost all food being consumed during daylight hours. Now consider those college students, eating and drinking long into the night. Yet, many students will still need to get up for classes the next day, which — assuming they eat breakfast — reduces the length of their night-time fast still further.
It also means that they are cutting short their sleep, and this too could make them more likely to gain weight. Both the number of calories you consume - and when you consume them - might be important factors for weight gain Credit: Getty. Inside every cell of your body, there ticks a molecular clock that regulates the timing of pretty much every physiological process and behaviour, from the release of hormones and neurotransmitters, to your blood pressure, the activity of your immune cells, and when you feel more sleepy, alert, or depressed.
These clocks are kept in synchrony with each other, and with the time of day outside, through signals from a small patch of brain tissue called the suprachiasmatic nucleus SCN.
And its window on the outside world are a subset of light-responsive cells at the back of the eye called intrinsically photoreceptive retinal ganglion cells ipRGs. It means that different biochemical reactions are favoured at various times of day, allowing our internal organs to task-switch and recuperate.
When we travel abroad, the timing of our light exposure changes, and our body clocks are pulled in the same direction — although the clocks in different organs and tissues adapt at different rates. The result is jet lag, which not only leaves us feeling sleepy or awake at the wrong times, but can also trigger digestive problems and general malaise. When we eat our meals can also shift the hands of the clocks in the liver and digestive organs, even though the clocks in our brain cells are unaffected.
Recent evidence also suggests that the timing of exercise can tweak the clocks in our muscle cells. International travel disrupts our circadian rhythms and the timings of our meals - and if that occurs regularly it could have long-term effects on your health Credit: Getty. When we fly across time zones, or eat, sleep and exercise at irregular times, the various clocks in our organs and tissues fall out of synchrony with one another.
Complex processes, such as the metabolism of fats or carbohydrates from the diet, require the coordination of numerous processes occurring in the gut, liver, pancreas, muscle and fatty tissue.
If the conversation between these tissues becomes scrambled, they become less efficient, which over the long term may increase our risk of various diseases. In one recent study, researchers compared the physical effects of sleeping for five hours per night for eight days in a row, with getting the same amount of sleep but at irregular times.
However, these effects were even greater in those who were sleeping at irregular times and whose circadian rhythms were therefore knocked out of alignment : in men, the reduction in insulin sensitivity and increase in inflammation doubled.
