People who stay up late might be putting their hearts at risk. A recent study found that those who prefer evenings over mornings have worse heart health. They also face a higher chance of heart attacks and strokes. The study looked at over 320, 000 adults in Britain. It used a score called Life's Essential 8 to check heart health. This score includes things like diet, exercise, sleep, and blood pressure.

Being a night owl seems to mess with your body's clock. This mismatch can lead to unhealthy habits. Smoking, poor sleep, high blood sugar, and bad diet play big roles. Women night owls face even more stress. They often juggle family care and late nights. Heart disease is a big killer in the U. S. So, fixing bad habits is key. Quitting smoking and sleeping on time can help. Small changes in diet and exercise also make a difference.
