A new study for more than 430 000 adults in the UK aged 38 to 73 for six and a half years. At the end of this period, the researchers compared the mortality rate in morning and evening types of people.
Night owls were 10 percent more likely to die within six years compared to the Morning Larks. The researchers also considered whether were more common in the group of various diseases. Again, in the evening kinds of things are much worse. Diabetes mellitus, psychological, neurological and gastrointestinal disorders were more common for people who prefer evening to morning.
The data was taken from the UK Biobank-a large pool of data, which is designed to identify risk factors for major diseases, and published in the International journal of Chronobiology.
Researchers believe that the connection between sleeping late and ill-health can be attributed to our internal body clock of neverwinte in such public events as he works and eats, or the effects of “social jet LAG” — to force myself to have a different sleep mode during the weekend compared with the workers.
But at this stage it is worth remembering that the Finding is only an Association, not a causal relationship. The study took into account a number of factors that can affect results such as age, gender, Smoking and obesity. But there is a chance that another factor at play that the researchers could have missed.
For example, stress, diet, isolation, and drug and alcohol all known to lead to poor health and may be responsible for different health outcomes for morning and evening types.
Although we don’t know for sure that evening, a man increases the risk of poor health. However, researchers believe that this study is an early indication that he can. Previous studies related to the body-clock disorders diabetes and hypertension and mental health problems such as depression.
It is believed that the chronotype — medical term used to describe our preferences for morning or evening between 20 and 50 percent determined by our genes. This means that we could have some control over our preferences.
They are investigating whether light therapy in the morning or melatonin in the evening, could take our chronotype, it is possible to improve the health status.
The authors of the study also suggest that more attention should be paid to how our models work designed.
“These results indicate the need to study interventions aimed at the types of evening greater working flexibility,” say the researchers.
They also suggest that daylight saving time-the practice of setting clocks ahead during the summer months, can harm the health of people who prefer the evening.
“Daylight saving time is perceived as a more uncomfortable evening than the morning types”, the study said, “placing an additional burden on those already struggling with when to start the day.”
