How is the solution ...Night-type humans are more likely to die earlier than morning-type humans

This is a stab at night type people.

It may be Yoasobi who can enjoy nightlife, but it may not be good. According to a study published in Chronobiology International, night-time people ... have a higher chance of dying early. It's not good, it's pretty bad.

The study published this time is the result of an ongoing survey of approximately 500,000 registered people in the United Kingdom between 2006 and 2010. Of the 500,000 volunteers, 400,000 volunteers between the ages of 38 and 73 who answered the question "Are you in the morning?" We continued their survey for an average of 6.5 years.

It seems that more than 10,000 people died during this survey period. And those who classified themselves as "night-type humans" had a 10% higher mortality rate than those who called themselves "morning-type humans." Not only that, night-time people are generally found to be unhealthy.

Not only does the night type have a higher mortality rate, but it also increases the likelihood of developing illnesses such as diabetes, mental illness, neuropathy, respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses. It has been said in the past that the night-type health risk is higher, but this study is the first census to find that the night-type has a higher mortality rate. It was also discovered for the first time that respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses are caused by night-time people.

However, it is not yet clear why these diseases occur. The research team said that night-time people tend not to eat properly, are impulsive, use drugs such as alcohol, do not have to go to work to stay up late, and sleep until after noon on weekends. Yes, he seems to think that may be a factor. It is also known that fatigue after staying up late leads to obesity and poor metabolism.

Interestingly, it's easy to think that the night owl has a short sleep time, but we also know that there isn't much difference in sleep time between the morning owl and the night owl. Most of the stress that the night owl has seems to come from the deviation from the body clock and circadian rhythm when trying to act in the normal time zone even though it is the night owl. When I tried to shift the body clocks of volunteers in the experiment, it was said that metabolism, mood, and even gene expression changed in the wrong direction.

Studies conducted so far have also shown that people with late-night shifts tend to die prematurely and are less healthy.

Although 20% to 50% of our body clock and circadian rhythm are genetically determined, it is possible to use lighting when waking up in the morning or to take melatonin when sleeping at night to shift the clock back and forth. , The author of this study is speaking. For those who are completely night owls and can't get out of the night owls, lighting and melatonin are effective. He also said that he can get out of the night style by changing the working environment such as changing the working hours.

"It's not good to suddenly change to an 8 o'clock shift in the morning and force it to wake up. It should be a shift that matches the circadian rhythm. Some people have a night shift that matches the night shift." The author of the study, Kristen Knutson of Northwestern University, said.

After all, if you force the night type to the morning type, the body clock will shift and become stressful, which will affect your health, and even if you continue the night type, the mortality rate will increase. What should I do, night type !?
