The disruption to this cycle, which tells us to sleep when it’s dark and wake up when it’s light outside, can have major health implications.
Whereas in the control group, things were just about normal. They ate 88.4% of their daily consumption during their active phase, and only 11.6% ate during their inactive phase. The 'jet-lagged' group was found to be consuming a whopping 53.8% of their daily intake during their inactive phase. Dr. Becky Conway-Campbell, senior author of the study, said that the health of night shift workers who have a reversed body block can be significantly impacted.
"For those who are working night shifts long-term, we recommend they try to maintain daylight exposure, cardiovascular exercise and mealtimes at regulated hours,” she added. “However, internal brain messages to drive increased appetite are difficult to override with 'discipline' or 'routine' so we are currently designing studies to assess rescue strategies and pharmacological intervention drugs.
"Our study shows that when we disturb our normal bodily rhythms this in turn disrupts normal appetite regulation in a way that is at least in part a result of desynchrony between adrenal steroid hormone production and the timing of the light and dark cycle,” added Lightman.
