People who stay up late and have to drag themselves out of bed are likelier to die younger than those who rise and set with the Sun, researchers said Thursday.<\/p>\n

A survey of more than 430,000 people in Britain found that night owls had a 10-percent higher risk of dying in the 6.5-year study period than \u201clarks\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a public health issue that can no longer be ignored,\u201d said study co-author Malcolm van Schantz of the University of Surrey \u2014 and argued that \u201cnight types\u201d should be allowed to start and finish work later in the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cNight owls trying to live in a morning-lark world may (suffer) health consequences,\u201d said fellow author Kristen Knutson of the Northwestern University in Chicago.<\/p>\n

The duo gathered information on nearly half-a-million people aged 38-73 from a public database.<\/p>\n

The participants had defined themselves as either \u201cdefinitely a morning person\u201d (27 percent), \u201cmore a morning person than evening person\u201d (35 percent), \u201cmore an evening than a morning person\u201d (28 percent), or \u201cdefinitely an evening person\u201d (nine percent).<\/p>\n

They also listed their weight, smoking habits, and socioeconomic status.<\/p>\n

Deaths in the group \u2014 just over 10,500 in total \u2014 were documented for six-and-a-half years.<\/p>\n

The night owl group, the team found, had a 10-percent higher risk of dying than those in the extreme early-morning group.<\/p>

People in the late-night group were more likely to suffer from psychological disorders, diabetes, and stomach and breathing troubles, and slept fewer hours per night.<\/p>\n

They were also more likely to smoke, drink alcohol and coffee, and use illegal drugs.<\/p>\n

The higher risk may be because \u201cpeople who are up late have an internal biological clock that doesn\u2019t match their external environment,\u201d Knutson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be psychological stress, eating at the wrong time for the body, not exercising enough, not sleeping enough, being awake at night by yourself, maybe drug or alcohol use.\u201d<\/p>\n

The research duo urged special treatment for night owls.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can recognise these (types) are, in part, genetically determined and not just a character flaw, jobs and work hours could have more flexibility for owls,\u201d Knutson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey shouldn\u2019t be forced to get up for an 8.00 am shift.\u201d<\/p>\n
