Simple Bedtime Shift Cuts Pounds: NYU Study Shows 1.3‑Pound Loss in Eight Weeks
A NYU clinical trial found that going to bed an hour earlier leads to modest weight loss for prediabetes patients, a result reported by Fox News and the New York Post.
The study, carried out by NYU, was highlighted by both Fox News and the New York Post as evidence that a modest change in daily routine can produce health benefits without additional interventions.
Specifically, falling asleep one hour earlier was linked to a loss of about 1.3 pounds over an eight‑week period, showing that a simple timing adjustment can make a measurable difference for adults with prediabetes.
