Social jetlag and obesity. Till Roenneberg, Karla V. Allebrandt, Martha Merrow, and Céline Vetter. Current Biology, 22(10), 939–943; May 22, 2012. DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2012.03.038. This article discusses the relationship between social jetlag and obesity. Social jetlag refers to the misalignment between an individual's internal circadian rhythm and their social schedule, often caused by irregular sleep patterns due to work, school, or social activities. The study highlights how this misalignment can lead to health issues, including obesity. The authors note that individuals who are chronically sleep-deprived or who have irregular sleep schedules are more likely to develop obesity. They suggest that the circadian rhythm plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and energy balance, and that disruptions to this rhythm can contribute to weight gain. The study also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a regular sleep schedule to prevent social jetlag and its associated health risks. The authors apologize for a minor error in the original formula in the Supplemental Experimental Procedures section, which has since been corrected. The research is published by the University of Groningen and is available through the University of Groningen/UMCG research database. The article is available under the "Taverne" license, which allows for open access under certain conditions. The authors encourage readers to consult the publisher's version for accurate citation purposes.Social jetlag and obesity. Till Roenneberg, Karla V. Allebrandt, Martha Merrow, and Céline Vetter.
