Get up early to be happy

A new study shows that early risers are generally happier than those who work at night.

>>>The habit of sleeping and getting up early may be due to genetic modification

According to Live Science, researchers from the University of Toronto conducted a study of early riser or late-night habits of two groups: a group of 435 teenagers aged 17 to 28; a group of 297 adults aged 59 to 79.

Both groups were interviewed about their favorite time of day, emotional state and how they felt health status. The results showed that almost people aged 60 or older have a habit of getting up early.

New research shows that people get up early
often happier than those who stay up late.

While among adolescents, only about 7% claim to have this healthy habit. This shows that when we get older, we tend to switch to a daytime schedule - starting with having an early risky habit.

This change in the biological clock may explain why older people often have a more cheerful and healthy feeling. Older people tend to have more positive emotions than young people, and they are more likely to belong to the group that gets up early than the younger ones, the researchers said.

'Early rising is linked to positive emotions in both age groups,' researcher Renee Bliss told Live Science. Younger people also feel healthier than people of the same age but prefer staying up late.

Scientists also explain this because early risers are more consistent with social expectations. Their biological clock has a 'fit' with the clock of society. While people who stay up late do not.

So how do night owls give up the late night routine to get up early? Renee Bliss advises that exposure to natural light should be increased early in the morning; practice going to bed early and getting up early. The researcher also said that this is an easy way for you to have a socially appropriate schedule.
