Dr. Hassan Explained Why People Who Wake Up Late Aren’t Lazy
Nevertheless, waking up late isn’t a sign that something is entirely wrong. According to research, it’s just an irregularity. Documenting the sleep of 61 students over a 30 days period, a study found out that students who got regular sleep (who went to bed and woke up the same time every day) did better in school as compared to those who sleep at odd hours.
Initially, researchers expected they would find irregular sleepers who stayed up till all hours sleeping less than their regular sleeping counterparts – it was, however, not the case. The groups slept the same number of hours in total, although irregular sleepers napped more with grades in school suffering.
On the other hand, irregular sleeping can be a symptom of depression and that can certainly have a toll on one’s performance.
