new study made by scientists from Harvard Universities D Pennsylvania in USA indicates that People They are not designed to go to bed after midnight. The report mentions that resting after this hour causes changes in a person’s brain and changes the way they interact with the rest of the world.

Investigation “The Mind After Midnight: Nighttime Waking, Behavioral Dysregulation, and Psychopathology” was published in a magazine “The Frontiers of Network Physiology” and its main finding determines that people who are nocturnal and stay awake until 00:00 hours are present neurophysiological changes in their brains, which have as consequences, among other things, a transformation in the control of their impulses.

Late sleep has its consequences

according to release published Massachusetts General Hospital According to research, staying awake after midnight increases the likelihood that a person will view the world negatively and engage in harmful or addictive behaviors, such as substance use or gambling, without thinking about the consequences.

In addition, if a person has difficulty falling asleep before midnight or if you feel active in the early morning, you probably have cognitive dysregulation which becomes apparent the next day. In other words, sleeping after midnight causes changes in our understanding of how we live and how we react to what happens to us.

“The main idea is that, in terms of high-level global evolution, the internal circadian body clock is set to processes that promote sleep rather than waking up after midnight.”points out Dr. Elizabeth B ClermanResearcher Department of Neurology from Massachusetts General Hospital and author of the study.

Clermann explains that the influence of the circadian rhythm on brain activity changes over the course of 24 hours and ultimately influences how we process our experiences and respond to the outside world. In other words, people respond more positively during the day because circadian rhythms are strongest in the morning and least at night.

In addition body it releases more dopamine at night, which can lead to risky behavior during those hours.

Hypothesis related to sleep habits

While the researchers of this study acknowledge that more research is still needed on this subject, they provide an example from 2016 that shows that “risk suicide was three times more than midnight and 6 am than at any other time of the day”.

” suicidepreviously unthinkable arises as an escape from loneliness and pain, and before considering the cost of suicide, the student has acquired the means and is ready to act at a time when no one is awake to stop him.points to study.

However, while the study may be interesting and revealing, it is important to remember that this is still a hypothesis. Clermann and the rest of the study authors note that more related factors need to be investigated to see if they protect those at risk from the night Watch.
