A recent study has found that eating at irregular times, such as the middle of the night for humans when we want to sleep--influences weight gain. Circadian rhythms which affect the regulation of energy may play a major role. Better timing of meals which would require a change in behavior would be an important element of decreasing obesity.
Next, researchers hope to study the molecular mechanism behind their observation that eating at the "wrong" time can make us fat.
