2. • The latest news about sleeping in from the
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism,
which published a study of over 400 participants
who went to sleep and woke up later on the
weekends than on workdays. Unfortunately, as
reported in the New York Times, “sleeping late
on days off was linked to lower HDL (good)
cholesterol, higher triglycerides, higher insulin
resistance and higher body mass index” in the
experimental participants — even after
controlling for a variety of other health factors.

3. • In other words, changes in sleep pattern trash your metabolism and
cardiovascular system, which are essential for good health.
• Though further research is definitely required, studies now indicate
that disrupted sleep patterns (like jet lag) impair memory and give
you Alzheimer’s-like symptoms.

4. SLEEPING IN CAN MASK YOUR SEASONAL
AFFECTIVE DISORDER
• Are you sleeping in for fun, or do you have
genuinely disturbed energy levels? The latter
can be a symptom of seasonal affective disorder,
so you need to be honest with yourself every
time you hit that snooze. There isn’t much to
lose by attempting not to sleep in, because it’s
bad for you in other ways too, and if you really
can’t stop you might need to think about
treating your seasonal affective disorder
directly.

5. SLEEPING IN CAN MASK YOUR SEASONAL
AFFECTIVE DISORDER
• Does sleeping in even feel that good in the first
place? Though the extra time you spend actually
in bed might be great, if you experience a “sleep
hangover” after sleeping in, you’re definitely not
alone. When your body was expecting wake up,
it prepared itself for a morning surge of energy,
but you weren’t awake to experience it. So the ill
effects of sleeping in can begin right away, not
just far in the future.
