Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital found that people who naturally prefer to stay up late are more likely to have poor lifestyle habits.
Previous research has linked being a night owl to obesity and heart disease.
Marie-Pierre St-Onge, director of the Center of Excellence for Sleep and Circadian Research at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, said if it's not possible to find a job that can be done later in the day, then people with a late-night body clock need to be careful about their lifestyle habits.
While some night owls do manage to switch their sleeping patterns because of life events, such as having children, “they tend to revert back,” St-Onge said. “You can’t fight your body.” St-Onge suspects that some humans evolved to have an evening chronotype because there was a “need for some people to be vigilant at night, when others could not be, and that way there could be a 24-hour coverage in terms of safety.”
