A new study by Imperial College London reveals that going to bed after 1 am increases the risk of mental health issues, regardless of being a night owl or an early bird.
Analyzing data from 73,888 participants, researchers found that those sleeping before 1 am had healthier mental profiles, while late sleepers, even if accustomed to the schedule, faced poorer mental health.
Morning risers showed the best outcomes, emphasizing the critical role of sleep timing for mental well-being.
