These new findings could help explain why night shift workers and other people who do not have a regular routine are at higher risk for obesity, says study author Kirsi-Marja Zitting of Brigham and Women's Hospital. Such a daily routine of those affected usually do not agree with the biorhythms of people who tell the body when he sleep and when he should take food.

Why do we increase?
