It’s not uncommon to have a little something to eat before going to bed—perhaps a sandwich or a bowl of ice cream, It’s not unusual, but it may be unhealthy. Many medical reports have already shown that late-night eating often makes people gain weight. Furthermore, new scientific studies show that frequent late-night eating can also affect learning and memory. ‘All humans have an “internal clock.” This internal clock influences when we sleep, wake up, and feel hungry. Our internal clocks have a 24-hour cycle that tells us when to go to bed. Eating at the wrong time of the day upsets this cycle. Eating when we should be sleeping is even worse. This is because our body needs to sleep at a certain time. When we eat late, we often go to sleep even later, which disrupts, or changes, our internal clocks even more. Christopher Colwell is a professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine in California in the United States. For years he has studied the cycle of sleeping and waking up. He believes that this cycle impacts learning and memory. “Disrupting that sleep-wake cycle is bad for our health,” says Colwell. He believes it can affect our brain and how we learn and remember information. Professor Colwell studied two groups of mice as part of his research. In the experiment, the researchers fed one group of mice at their regular time. The researchers fed the second group of mice during their normal sleep time. All of the mice ate the same amount of food and slept the same number of hours. There was CHAPTER 1 Ourinternal Clock:|t's about time 5only one difference: The second group of mice ate and went to sleep at a time that was the researchers gave learning different from their usual schedule. After a few weeks, tests to all the mice. The mice that ate during their regular sleep time had problems with memory. It was difficult for them to remember what they already learned. Colwell also saw changes in their hippocampus. The hippocampus is the part of the brain used for learning and memory. Although Colwell used mice in this experiment, he believes this result is true for people, too. | Colwell’s conclusions were clear. “Having a strong sleep-wake cycle is good for our health. That means eating at the right times,” says Colwell. “If we're going on vacation, it’s no big deal.” Vacations are usually short and do not have any lasting effects. However, if we frequently eat when we should be asleep, we are disrupting our internal clock. As a result, we may experience learning and memory problems. It’s important to pay attention to our internal clock! Maroc nef Mutu Correo MUa co Cites SS)Fact Finding Read the passage again. Then read the following statements.
