I’ll wait till next week’s study comes out saying the opposite.
20 people is hardly enough for a “study.”
Scroll down to the laboratory protocol section for what the authors call “meal timing”.
I have read a lot of studys...
Gotta say that this one really puts me in mind of a quote...
“If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with 🐂💩.”
W.C. Fields.
Emojis mine.
I took a quick look at the link and what struck me is the people were following a strict regimen imposed by the scientists. Since most people are accustomed to a daytime oriented schedule, they could have felt annoyed or uncomfortable with the constraints imposed by the experiment and.or the experimenters.
Since childhood I have been a “night person”, tbis was reinforced by 44 years of marriage to a man who often came home very late, or with Alzheimers wanted to get up and walk the city streets at 4 am. Even many years after his death, I am still quite happy to stay awake until 4 am, and sleep til noon. I am a healthy 86 with good heart and active muscles for lawn mowing, and other physical activities. I am happy with my schedule and doubt I would be healthier with a “normal” cycle. At this stage I suspect being forced to a normal schedule would just upset me and my cycles. Perhaps the “forcing” was they key to the results found. Redo this experiment with people with the night oriented cycle.
