Night Owls Face Higher Heart Risks

Night Owls Face Higher Heart Risks

A big study found that people who stay up late, called night owls, might have a higher chance of heart problems.

This is because their body's internal clock doesn't match the usual daily schedule.

Night owls often have unhealthy habits like smoking, not sleeping enough, and eating poorly.

These habits can make their heart health worse.

The study looked at over 300,000 people and found that night owls had a 16% higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Experts say it's important for everyone, especially night owls, to focus on healthy habits like quitting smoking, getting enough sleep, and eating well.

Even if you can't sleep a lot, going to bed and waking up at the same time every day can help.
