Early rising no good for the heart: study

Sleep late folks, and tell your boss you need to in order to keep healthy... I'm gonna print this one out and laminate it

Good to know I've been doing the right thing

You may not want to jump to conclusions. It doesn't sound like the study actually isolated early rising as a cause of heart problems. For example, the article said that most of the early risers were older people, a group that's already in a higher risk bracket.

But any excuse to sleep in is good enough for me.

Hey, now I have an excuse for oversleeping. "Boss, I'm trying to keep my heart healthy, so I decided to sleep late today."

Correlation does not indicate causation. And, as has already been noted, the results are largely invalidated by a failure to take into account differences in sleeping patterns across different age groups.

Most studies like this never amount to anything; they're talked about for maybe a few weeks and then either contradicted by another study or else forgotten.

But hey: any excuse to sleep late is fine by me.

I either get too little or too much sleep most days.
