Night owls, people who stay up late and struggle to get out of bed in the morning, are more likely to die sooner than morning larks, the first study into their death rates has found.

New research by the University of Surrey and Northwestern University in the US found that people who naturally stay up late were 10 per cent more likely to die within the six-and-a-half-year study period compared to those who preferred the morning.

Researchers say that the ongoing stress of operating in a traditional 9-5 society was having a huge effect on millions of people and could be shortening their lives.

“This is a public health issue that can no longer be ignored,” said Malcolm von Schantz, a professor of chronobiology at the University of Surrey. “We should discuss allowing evening types to start and finish work later, where practical. And we need more research about how we can help evening types deal with the higher effort of keeping their body clock in line with sun time”.

The research involved nearly 500,000 Brits aged between 38 and 73 and found that around nine per cent considered themselves evening people, while 27 per cent identified as morning types.

In the new study, Scientists found owls had higher rates of diabetes, psychological disorders and neurological disorders. But the team has previously shown that whether someone is an owl or a lark is half genetic and half environment, meaning there may be ways to keep body clock issues under control.

The team recommends that night owls can help themselves by trying to become exposed to light early in the morning and not at night. Keeping regular bedtimes, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and trying to do tasks earlier in the day can help to reset body rhythms.

The study was published in the journal Chronobiology International.

1.What docs the underlined word “their” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Night owls’　　 B. Morning larks

C. Researchers’　　 D. Scientists’

2.What can we know from Malcolm’s words?

A. People who stay up late may die before age 7.

B. Staying up late is no longer a public health issue.

C. When people should start work will be discussed later.

D. More research is needed to help solve the problem.

3.Which of the following is not suggested by the research team?

A. Get up early.　　 B. Make full use of morning hours.

C. Get exposed to sunlight more often.　　 D. Go to bed at a fixed time.

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To tell the differences between two types of people.

B. To introduce readers the result of a new research.

C. To warn night owls of their bad genes and environments.

D. To argue morning larks usually live longer than night owls.
