For us it came down to a risk
benefit analysis: were the risks
associated with co-sleeping outweighed by the risks of a parent sleeping only 1 - 2 hours a

«We know from our sleep loss studies that when you're sleep deprived, it negatively affects weight and metabolism in part due to late -
night eating, but now these early findings, which control for sleep, give a more comprehensive picture of the
benefits of eating earlier in the day,» said Namni Goel, PhD, a research
associate professor of psychology in Psychiatry in the division of Sleep and Chronobiology, and lead author of the ongoing study.
