People who tend to stay up late are not more likely to die younger than early risers – as long as they do not use those longer nights for drinking and smoking, a 37-year-long study suggested

1. The caveat is pretty hilarious. Like obviously if you are also drinking and smoking extra that will impact your mortality. Kind of like saying “as long as they do not use those longer nights for doing extreme stunts”.

   I get that there is a cohort that it applies to they had to control for, just kind of funny to present it like that.

2. They’re fucked so 😉

3. What if I get up at 5am but go to bed at 1am? Should I be dead already?

4. Early risers are more likely to die than people that go to bed late…

   … if they spend their extra hours drinking and smoking.

5. Sweet. I usually don’t get to sleep until about 1 in the morning and wake around 7am.

6. So your saying I should do all my drinking and smoking in the morning? Grand job.

7. Had me in the first half

8. I drink and smoke but dont sleep, will I live forever?

9. >The study followed nearly 24,000 same-sex twins in Finland

   I’m impressed they managed to recruit that many twins in a not-so-big country.

10. that’s balderdash

11. Ah, still fucked so
