In order to have a clearer picture of the results, researchers then divided the children into three groups: ? those who went to bed by 8 . or earlier ? those who went to bed between 8 . and 9 . ? those whose bedtimes were after 9 . When these children turned 15 years old, the researchers looked at the results of the study. Of those with the earliest bedtimes, only one out of ten was obese.
