11/11 Scrap-Waking up early is more likely to give you heart disease

<A href="http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2011/11/325_97969.html">http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2011/11/325_97969.html</A>   Summary: A study in Japan has showed that waking up early in the morning may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke highly. According to Bloomberg, scientists at Kyoto Prefectural University analyzed 3,066 healthy participants with an average age of 57.2 who woke up before 5:00 a.m.Then the results showed that for the people who woke up before 5:00 a.m., they had 1.2 times the risk of hardening the arteries than those who woke up an hour later. Artery blockage prevents blood from flowing to the heart or brain and it causes the heart diseases. Dr. Mayuko Kadono, who led the team said that the sleep duration does not influece much but the bedtimes and wake up times influence much. The World Health Organization declared that cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death worldwidely. However, the doctor said that age-associated changes of rhythm and sleep would influence vascular condition even for the people who get older.   Opinion: When I read this article, I was thankful because I never wake up before 5:00 a.m. I sometimes wake up early in the morning to finish my homework or something but it's really good for that I can sleep very well. As the doctor mentioned above, I think it's really important to keep the rhythm and pattern of the living every day. Definitely if one does not do as he has done every day, he would be lazy or nervous. For instance, personally, I become quite lazy if I stop studying and just do whatever I do during vacation. Also when I was here, I used to sleep at 10 or 11 o'clock but in Korea I slept much later. It means that the rhytmn was broken. After the vacation, I had really difficult time to be accustomed to the rhytmn which I had before. Surely it's really helpful for us to keep our sleep duration and the patterns.   I think for the people who work from the early morning, the government should give some more money or something because according to this study, they are at the high risk of having heart diseases. They could be sick because of the life, waking up in the early morning.
