No one enjoys waking up early, when you sleep comfortably and is very tired, do not want to wake up. But you are right, if you do not like out of bed before sunrise.
Waking up before the sun could be harming your health, according to a new study.
Scientists in Melbourne, Australia said the act of getting up at ridiculous o’clock can cause ‘social jet lag’, which refers to the difference between when a person is forced to wake up and when they wake up naturally.
When the sun rises, the body’s melatonin - the hormone which helps people sleep - is naturally suppressed. At the same time, the body’s internal cortisol levels, which gives people energy, rise.
When a person is forced to wake up instead of waking up naturally, however, these hormones don’t work as they should.
This hormone imbalance can increase the risk of:
Heart disease
Stroke
Diabetes
Depression
Thankfully there are ways to mitigate some of these risks, such as cutting out caffeine later in the day, eating a big breakfast to set you up for the day and using alarm clocks that simulate the sunrise.
When you can wake up later, you should do it. Maybe you will be more happy during the day.
