Studies show that sleep patterns are a critical component of health, with early research suggesting a connection between sleep and obesity. Sleep was measured objectively in 76 children using actigraphy data. Three important factors identified were regularity, fragmentation, and duration. Greater childhood adiposity was associated with later bedtimes and irregular sleep patterns, emphasizing the need for future research on sleep’s role in obesity prevention.
