Adults who consider themselves “night owls” tend to score lower in cardiovascular health<\/a> assessments and face a higher risk of heart attack or stroke.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to a new study published today in the\u00a0 Journal of the American Heart Association, which examined how a person\u2019s chronotype \u2014 their natural tendency to be active in the morning or evening \u2014 is linked to overall heart health.<\/p>\n

The researchers looked at 14 years of UK Biobank data for around 300,000 adults averaging 57 years old, according to a press release for the study<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Around 8% of the participants described themselves as “definitely evening people,” which means they stayed up very late. Another 24% said they were “definitely morning people,” as they tended to wake up earlier and go to bed earlier<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The largest “intermediate” group, which included 67% of participants, said they were unsure or in neither group.<\/p>\n

Each person\u2019s heart health was determined using the American Heart Association\u2019s Life\u2019s Essential 8 score.<\/p>\n

“Life\u2019s Essential 8 is a comprehensive assessment that includes activity levels, diet, blood pressure, cholesterol, use of nicotine, sleep patterns, weight management and blood sugar<\/a>,” shared Dr. Bradley Serwer, an interventional cardiologist and chief medical officer at VitalSolution, an Ingenovis Health company.<\/p>\n

The researchers also looked at incidence of heart attack or stroke<\/a> over the follow-up period.<\/p>\n

They determined that people who were more active in the evening (“night owls”) had a 79% higher risk of poor cardiovascular health compared to the intermediate group, and a 16% higher risk of heart attack or stroke, the release stated.<\/p>\n

People who identified as being more active in the morning had slightly better heart health scores. The link was more pronounced in women than men.<\/p>\n

“‘Evening people’ often experience circadian misalignment<\/a>, meaning their internal body clock may not match the natural day-to-night light cycle or their typical daily schedules,” said lead study author Sina Kianersi, Ph.D., a research fellow in the division of sleep and circadian disorders at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, both in Boston, in the release.<\/p>\n

“Evening people may be more likely to have behaviors that can affect cardiovascular health, such as poorer diet quality<\/a>, smoking, and inadequate or irregular sleep.”<\/p>\n

Serwer, who was not involved in the study, noted that lifestyle habits played a significant role in these findings.<\/p>\n

“Cardiovascular disease has multiple contributing causes,” the Maryland-based cardiologist told Fox News Digital. “Sleep is just one variable \u2014 and the importance of high-quality, restorative sleep should not be undervalued.”<\/p>\n

The findings could help doctors tailor lifestyle and medical interventions<\/a> to help prevent cardiovascular events, the researchers noted.<\/p>\n

The study did have some limitations, chiefly that it does not prove that staying up late causes heart problems, but only establishes an association.<\/p>\n

Also, the study relied on people reporting their own schedules, habits and health, which could be skewed.<\/p>\n

Finally, the people included in the UK Biobank are primarily white<\/a> and tend to have better health than the general population, the researchers noted, which means the results may not be widely generalized.<\/p>\n

Serwer added, “While quality sleep is important, further studies are required to show exactly what sort of impact sleep alone has on cardiovascular health.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
