According to a new study, published in PLOS One, getting ready in the dark could be the reason youre struggling to lose weight.

Researchers from Northwestern University got 54 adults in Chicago to wear wrist trackers to record their exposure to light and their sleep habits for a week.

Alongside this, they all kept a food diary so the researchers could count up their calorie intake.

They also counted for activity level, age, caloric intake, season and sleep habits.

Results revealed that the earlier in the day the participants were exposed to light, the lower their body mass index (BMI) was.

In fact, BMI rose by a whopping 1.28 points for every hour light exposure was delayed.
