Late-night habits linked to higher risk of clogged arteries, study finds
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Daily Mail
A study suggests that night owls may have nearly twice the risk of developing hardened arteries compared to early birds. Researchers analyzed data from 771 individuals aged 50 to 64 and found that those who identified as definite night owls were 90% more likely to have hardened arteries. This mismatch in sleep patterns with our natural body clock has been linked to high blood pressure and inflammation, which can damage the arteries. Night owls also tend to have unhealthier lifestyles, which could further increase their risk. The study highlights the importance of considering a healthy lifestyle, including adequate sleep, exercise, and a balanced diet, for individuals who identify as night owls.
