The Latest Health Concern: Sleeping in on Weekends?

 It seems like EVERYTHING can be bad for you, even innocent stuff like:  Kale . . . ice water . . . and now, just sleeping in on the weekends.

 

There's a new study out on how irregular sleep schedules can have negative consequences on your gut bacteria, which can lead to obesity, inflammation, and heart problems.

 

The researchers found that even a 90-minute difference in the mid-point of your sleep timing can impact your gut. That includes staying up late a couple times a week, and sleeping in a couple hours on the weekends.

 

Of course, what you eat and drink has a big impact on your gut . . . but the scientists say disruptions to your internal clock also play a significant role.

 

One researcher says, "Maintaining regular sleep patterns . . . so when we go to bed and when we wake each day . . . is an easily adjustable lifestyle behavior we can all do, that may impact your health . . . for the better."
