If you find yourself eating too much added sugar and unhealthy fats, it might be because you're not getting enough sleep, according to a study published Monday in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
Researchers from Columbia University's Irving Medical Center examined the associations between measures of sleep quality and the dietary patterns of nearly 500 women who participated in the AHA Go Red for Women program, a year-long study of sleep patterns and cardiovascular risk in women. What they found was that the poorer their quality of sleep, and the less they slept, the more the women consumed added sugars, saturated fats and caffeine.
Foods that are lower in calories but still satiating because of their fiber content or macronutrient levels include fruits and vegetables, whole grains and legumes, lean meats, fatty fish and healthy fats. "Sleep isn't a luxury. It's a fundamental human need and part of a healthy lifestyle," said Adam.
And in other news, water is wet ....
Duh.
True for me
Is better you post rubbish than to post what is happening in Nigeria the killing
Well this is groundbreaking. Lack of sleep = increased caffeine consumption. I’m shocked.
So what do you people do over there? You tweet this nonsense 4 days ago for 2 days straight....take a break...then start up again for another round of tweeting. No wonder your team of 20 something year old's in your Twitter department only get paid $15/ hour
Fatties always making excuses
5 will get you 20.

Poor man's sleeping pill: Fry 2 eggs, lightly. Toast 2 pieces of jewish rye in the pan with the grease. Lay the eggs back on the bread and set some thin cheddar or montery jack on top, close the hot side of bread over the cheese and neatly flip, melt, extract, Eat and sleep. 👍
Which is why they can't sleep

I could have told you that. They didn't need a 'study.'
I’m a man and don’t get enough sleep and crave sugar 🥴
Yeah let's chalk this up to obvious results. I'm guessing the same for men too.
I thought it was the weed.
titisanchezh please read.
Between sleep and sweets & coffee ... oh hard choice!
That revelation needed a “ study “ ...
A lot of women evidently not getting any sleep.
Stayed up all night Grazin? 😨
I want my wife to get bigger, so I'm try to keep her from sleeping
i mean you could've just observed me instead of funding a study
So basically unhealthy people eat unhealthier. A fantastic discovery thank you cnn!
Doesn’t everybody
Gandalf likes to eat second breakfast, so who is he to judge?
Did they really need a study? We all know this.
They had to study this?
So ... stay with me here ... what I'm understanding from this is that women who don't get enough sleep tend to consume more caffeine and sugar ... Who funded this study?
If this doesn't make the most sense ever 🙃 -- if I wasn't such a lil' shit I would probably adjust my habits accordingly. and yet, ...here we are on twitter at 2am with snacks like 🥰
This is true.. because i always crave for coffee and chocolate whenever i sleep late...
There are studies pointibg out that the brain consumes itself when having not enough sleep. Not sure if this was about proteins or carbohydrates.
A study showed the more women went to the supermarket and purchased coffee, cookies, sweets and candies the more the women consumed added sugars, saturated fats and caffeine. Oddly enough, it happens to men too.
Didnt need a study to tell me that.
If you can't sleep well, i recommend you should drink the caramel brulee latte at Starbucks before going back home.
Bc they put weed in those cookies
Isn’t it more like they have consumed more caffeine hence they can’t sleep?
Reading this while just finishing up a 3 AM feeding wit my newborn where I also ate... a couple Reece’s that is!
Save our women!!. But wait.... So are you saying they have to do easy jobs that doesn't require much hours of concentration or what?.
Are we sure they just arent on a sugar rush? Who could resist caffeine and cookies?! 🍪☕
Wait so you mean to tell me that when people are tired they consume things that give them more energy? No way I don’t believe you
How much money they wasted on that study?
If you are reading this at 2am with a bag of Chex Mix, this is for you.
Guess a lot of women (& men) in America are having a poor quality of sleep. Saying someone is 'fat' is the new way of saying 'you look tired'
Gee ya dont say
That cookie looks good asf
COOKIES
adopt good sleeping habits
thrive
Struggling to eat maybe
Or, you should go on a fuckin DIET. I don't care if fat people eat themselves to death, but to masquerade obesity as 'body positivity' is dishonesty of the worst kind. Surprised this isn't Trump's fault, CNN. You disappoint. FakeNews
A study of study's on what you already know , found out fhrough more extensive studying of that study , isn't a study at all, just state run mind control programs
True for men too.... Not just women. Read 'Why We Sleep' by Matthew Walker.

Powerball. $700 million. I bought 50 tickets. I will share my winnings equally with everyone who follows me and retweets this. This is a legal contract. (I'm a lawyer). Here you go!.
I know this already but I am trapped in a choco-caffeine spiral towards total exhaustion.
Because narcotics are safer.
Could be a catch 22.
I’m in this tweet and I don’t like it

That actually sounds possible.
Yes but we could then say it is b/c they consume these things that they have poorer sleep quality so the correlation may be spurious based on what they are measuring the variables against.
It would also help if food packagers didn’t add sugar to so many things. Even if you give up sugar consciously, it’s hiding in salad dressing, canned products, baked savory items (vs baked sweet items). It’s crazy how much is in unexpected things.
Typical women. No self control!! Too emotional and impulsive
Really a study...sugar/caffeine keeps us motivated
Interesting
That's no surprise.
Weird how processed stimulants would be related in anyway to lack of sleep or less there of... oh wait, not its not
I think this is true for everyone
lol sugar and caffeine keeps a person up and doesn’t let them get the sleep they deserve. what a study
That cookie looks sooo good lol
Sugar is cancer food, you should never add sugar to anything.
I feel unnecessarily attacked
My life.
Andy_Ort para ti
I really want that cookie
I can confirm this is 100% accurate. I sleep very little and eat fucking terribly 🤦♀️
Women are the same as men.
And Twitter make is the reason I stay up late. In other words, Twitter made me fat 😱
No shit, Sherlock.
We know
Is the poor quality sleep the cause or the effect of consuming all the unhealthy substances?
aquiless4_ I am feeling very attacked but Go Off
Sleepy women consume sugar and caffeine? I bet this was an comprehensive study by 'scientists'.
More importantly...where can I get this cookie
You didn't need a study to figure that one out, I could have just told you.
rebelrebelally
Sugar cane, sugar beets, sugar is a vegetable. The end
Sounds like me! 😃
Nursing school will do it every time
is that really news?
Starbucks? Kind of makes sense, and makes you wonder why people are researching (spending money to research) this...
I’m sorry but this looks divine
No. I think it's just seeing cookies😁
cristalpdx Jhen0629 🤔
Aye! You leave cookies OUT OF THIS!
So ur saying they are employed
So true. I was just thinking about chocolate and I have issues falling asleep
Never heard of suger high?
All I'm doing is laying here thinking about that cookie.
Quit sugar, you'll sleep better..
Nothing wrong with a cup of coffee a day, keep the cookies for the weekend or pick 2 days a week and youll be fine. Everything is self control and moderation. Write about real science 🙄.
It’s probably called stress eating...a viscous cycle. 🥴🥴
Imagine becoming a scientist only to waste your time on stupid and obvious studies like this one
Nothing stops me from sleeping 💤
I want cookies now, thanks a lot
I lost sleep looking at that cookie.
DO NOT TAKE ANY ADVICE FROM CNN! This is fake news.
Bernie Sanders tricked by Russian pranksters posing as Greta Thunberg
I can attest to this. Then I learned how to manage by simply switching products by their ingredients but could still give off the sweetness I was looking for. Low sugar count is essential. Exercise is even more important and beneficial by releasing bad calorie intake.
I wonder if the 'Microsoft Telepathy Updates' service had something to do with it as well?!🤔
TheWoodyShow oohhh really
This framing suggests it's the poor sleep that causes the eating of sugars, saturated fats, and caffeine. The diet is more controllable; perhaps the diet leads to the sleep problems.
No way! 😳
Sugar affects sleep as does white flower. You have to cut it all out.
I c absolutely no prob with any of that.🥞🍳☕
Oh hello, Captain Obvious!
Who cares. Most can't cook these days anyway. Just wage slave till 40 with your box of wine and cats and enjoy those many one day relationships that go nowhere. Realize you will never have kids and doomed to be eaten by your cats. We will laugh
I rather watch cute puppy videos like this one.
They needed a study to figure this out🧐
I find I crave sweet things. Like an addiction. I can’t have a sweet thing once a week. I’m either all-in or all-out. Once out, I’m fine. But if I’m in I’m hooked and it’s a habit! A horrible habit that’s hard to say no to.
What? Throw in a fear factor to make their wives suffer? Let women take sugar off men's food to see how they feel.
Maybe I’m just hungry.
that's the ideal proof of what I guessed before .
I'm battling insomnia, is there some kind of Insomnia Anonymous support group I can join?
Excuses excuses excuses
Government primary school in village
women consumed added sugars, saturated fats and caffeine. and they can't sleep? DUH hahahahahaha
I don't eat anything after 7pm😉
Or they may have too much before going to bed, which made them hard to sleep.
retamalwalter7 con razón!!! 🍫
Perhaps people would get more & better sleep if they'd consume less sugars and caffeine ... !?
My family has a long history of diabetes and even THAT won't make me quit sugar. I'm dead at 40 AND THAT'S A FACT!!!
LoniLove Its true... ☑💯💯
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And? We add weed to those sweets
Translation: Study finds women who choose to eat properly tend to make better life choices in other areas. Duh 🙄
I don’t believe anything you say
What if I don’t sleep, but I also prefer salty snacks?
