No be small matter! New research don show say sleep no be just for early birds and night owls. Dem don identify five unique sleeper types wey get their own behaviors and health patterns. E go shock you how wetin you dey do for night fit affect your health, my people!
One group wey dey wake early, dem get less health wahala overall, while another group dey chop depression like say na their breakfast. As for night owls, e be like say dem get more variety plus different cycles wey fit cause serious gbege for their health.
Le Zhou, wey be neuroscience student for McGill University for Canada, talk say, “For today’s digital and post-pandemic time, sleep patterns don become more diverse pass before.” So, the question wey dey hian be, wetin we go fit do with all dis information?
Dem researchers analyze sleep patterns and health data of over 27,000 adults from the UK Biobank. Wetin dem find? E come be say, dem get two early bird subtypes and three night owl subgroups. Each group get wetin make dem different!
Subtype 1 na the first night owl, wahala gree dey follow am: risky lifestyle and difficulty for emotional control. But na dem dey shine pass when e reach cognitive performance! On top that, dem fast for reaction time no be small.
Wanna hear about subtype 2? E no too sweet. Dis one dey linked to smoking and cardiovascular risk. Dem dey low for physical activity and dey take antidepressants like popcorn. Na wah!
For early bird side, subtype 3 dey shine for health matter, no smoke, no drink, and less risky behaviors. But dem dey get high anxiety, oh! Then subtype 4, more ladies dey fall inside here, and dem dey struggle with depression and drug prescriptions.
As for subtype 5, dis night owl group na male-dominated. E dey carry alcohol, cigarettes, and cannabis on top health risk matter, plus prostate wahala. Na so dem dey waka for this life.
Di research team believe say sleep fit affect plenty parts of our daily life. As we dey find way to personalize our work schedules and mental health support, dem dey believe say dis biological diversity fit help wey no be small!
Omo, as dem researchers dey drop more findings, dem go still check genetic data wey go show us if dis chronotypes start from when we be pikin. If e true, no be say we go fit blame our parents for how we dey sleep again?
