The habit of students who have bad sleeping pattern, night� eating syndrome, and excessive SSB consumption can increase the risk of metabolic syndrome in� obese students.�

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to analyze the differences of night eating syndrome,� sleeping pattern, and consumption habit of sugar-sweetened beverage based on metabolic types in� obese students.�

Method: The research was conducted in July-September 2020 with female students in Semarang� City as subjects.
