Night owls die earlier due to drinking and smoking: Study

PARIS - People who tend to stay up late are not more likely to die younger than early risers – as long as they don’t use those longer nights for drinking and smoking, a 37-year-long study suggested on Friday.

So researchers in Finland sought to find out more in a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Chronobiology International. Over the 37 years, the researchers found that the definite night owls had a nine per cent higher risk of death from all causes – a similar rate to the 2018 study.For example, it found that non-smoker night owls who were light drinkers were no more likely to die earlier than morning people.Regular alcohol use most common in older men, binge drinking in young adults: Survey

Independent of other factors, the time when people tend to sleep, known as their chronotype, has “little or no” contribution to their mortality, Mr Hublin added.
