Getting up early when you’re a teen is pretty much painful, and it could also make teens overweight. Researchers from two U.S. universities found that teenage girls who had different sleeping patters on the weekend compared to regular weekdays were more likely to be obese. Emotional eating was also linked to weight gain, specifically in teen girls. Still, all kids may experience weight gain because interrupted sleep was linked to unhealthier diets, less exercise, and more time staring at screens. Teens with the greatest “social jet lag,” or things you’re forced to do that interrupt your preferred sleep cycle (like work or school), were most likely to be obese. Also, scientists say inconsistent sleep patterns lead to less healthy lives in general.
