The effects of time‑restricted eating on sleep in adults: a systematic review

Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls

A structured review whether keeping most calories in a daytime window, with minimal overnight intake, maps findings showing sleep & alertness for night‑shift workers and night owls. The signal puts timing—rather than only calories or macros—at the center of how bodies respond to working at night. For people who work nights, that frames an everyday choice (when you eat, how you light the end of a shift, how rest is split) as part of the mechanism, not just routine.
