JAKARTA - The density of activities every day sometimes makes it difficult for us to sleep according to the rule, which is eight hours. Imagine, going to an activity from the morning and only being able to go back to bed at night.

Not to mention if there are some matters that need to be resolved even though it is not working hours. A study by Current Biology found that people who slept less on weekdays and tried to make up for it on weekends were less healthy than people who were used to sleeping less.

As is well known, adults are encouraged to sleep seven to nine hours every night but not everyone can feel this. Fulfillment of sleep this weekend actually adds to weight and it is likely that diseases such as diabetes can be felt. This is because lack of sleep can reduce the body's metabolism.

This research was conducted to three groups of participants. They were ordered to sleep at 11pm and wake up at 8am.

The following nights, you can guess their sleep schedule has changed from the first schedule. The participants also experienced changes in food consumption, sleep duration, and metabolism.

Everyone has an internal alarm where our bodies usually give a 'signal' when the organs feel tired and need rest. But, if this cannot be fulfilled, then the body's metabolism can have side effects that lead to negative.

There are several things that need to be done to avoid yourself from disease. First, keep getting used to sleeping at the same time every day.

Being consistent is the key for our bodies to adapt to our circumstances. In addition, avoid eating snacks at night to reduce negative metabolism and side effects of sluggish sleep.

The more you don't get enough sleep, the more prohibited you will be from eating food at night. This may only be useful for a few moments but if you get used to it, over time you will get the quality of sleep you want.
