We investigated whether nocturnal eating was causal to the impairment of metabolism and sleep disruption in diurnal animals exposed to illuminated nights. Adult zebra finches hatched and raised in 12 h light: 12 h darkness (LD) were exposed to 5-lux dim light at night (dLAN, two groups), with a control group maintained on LD. For the next 3 weeks, the food availability to one of the dLAN groups was restricted to the 12 h light period (dLAN -F); the other dLAN (dLAN +F) and LD groups were continued on ad lib feeding.
