note = "Funding Information: Time-restricted feeding (TRF) has been shown to be not only feasible, but effective for reducing cardiometabolic disease risk among both day and night shift workers [12]. Rather than eating around the clock during periods of wakefulness, a window of typically less than 12 hours ensures that the digestive system is offered regular periods of intermittent fasting throughout the 24-h day. Meal timing is a potent time-keeping cue for peripheral circadian clocks [13], and where night shifts or other forms of nocturnal wakefulness must continue, perhaps restricting eating to daytime hours offers some protection against more extreme circadian misalignment where eating occurs during the dark phase. While the optimal eating window length and timing likely varies between individuals according to chronotype and other metabolic factors, TRF may improve sleep indirectly, by strengthening circadian rhythms and supporting the health of gastrointestinal components such as the microbiome.",
