Getting up early is actually bad for your health according to this Japanese study.

------------------------------
Generations have praised the wisdom of getting up early in the morning, but a Japanese study says early-risers are actually at a higher risk of developing heart problems.

The study, conducted by researchers from several universities and hospitals in the western Japanese city of Kyoto, revealed a link between wake-up times and a person's cardiovascular condition.

"Rising early to go to work or exercise might not be beneficial to health, but rather a risk for vascular diseases," said an abstract of the study.

The study, covering 3,017 healthy adults aged between 23 through 90, found that early risers had a greater risk of heart conditions including hypertension and of having strokes.

I knew it all along!
I usually get up between 10 am and 1 pm.
I like staying up late at night, I'm a "night person."
For a lot of years I had to get up early in the military but now I'm retired and don't have to do that stuff anymore.
It sucked!
The only "alarm clock" I have now is when I leave the back door open and I'm awakened by the golfers swearing. Music to my ears!
(I live on a golf course.)

Shit. I get up at 5 on weekdays and between 7 and 9 on weekends. And I've still got that 32 pack of Orville's sitting in my kitchen.

I am so fucked.

Never getting up is probably the healthiest.

The study is seriously flawed. They admit in the article that most of the early risers were older and it is implied that they did not control for age.

Well hell, I am screwed.

I've always been an early riser. Up at 5AMish every single day without an alarm clock.

I hate that nasty microwave buttered popcorn so do you suppose it evens things out?
