Individuals who thrive in the late hours, often dubbed 'night owls', may face a heightened risk of poor heart health, according to a significant new study. The research found that those active late into the night – when most people are winding down or asleep – exhibit poorer overall cardiovascular wellbeing compared to the average person.
Sina Kianersi, a research fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, who led the study, clarified that night owls are not 'doomed'. He explained: "The challenge is the mismatch between your internal clock and typical daily schedules that makes it harder to follow heart-healthy behaviours."
