“People who stay up late tend to eat lateâ€"and eat even when they’re not hungry,†says Evelyn Tribole, M.S., R.D., who cautions that the body stores (instead of burns!) calories taken in from late-night snack fests. Plus, if you binge at midnight, you’re more likely to skip that all-important breakfast the next day. Translation: You’ll have lower energy and be more likely to overeat later on, says Rafael Pelayo, M.D., associate professor of Sleep Medicine at Stanford University.
