A study by Intel reveals that people who often stay up late, known as “night owls,” may have a higher chance of dying young. This is because their irregular sleep patterns disrupt the body’s natural clock, called the circadian rhythm, which is crucial for good health.
Staying up late can lead to serious health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and mental health issues. It’s also linked to unhealthy habits, such as eating poorly, not exercising enough, and experiencing more stress. These factors increase the risk of early death.
Experts say that keeping a regular sleep schedule and sleeping in tune with day and night cycles can lower these risks and improve health. Even though modern life often pushes people to stay up late, making sleep a priority is essential for a longer, healthier life.
