Staying up late into the night. For some people, it’s just the way they prefer to live. But it could be affecting their health.

From my experience in school, most students are night owls. I'm the opposite. I love waking up at the crack of dawn and commuting as early as possible. Early in the morning, the landscapes are amazing. In my country, nights are a bit dangerous and you're prone to be robbed and suffer chronic injuries. I'd better live in peace.
Sian so cut
Is it ok to sleep late but wake up late?
I used to work during @ night until morning …… 4 hours earlier I quit. My work now I can sleep in peace 😂

During my school holiday, I like to be a night owl playing Minecraft with my friends. Although I know that it might make me prone to disease in the future, but it's hard to get rid from a habit for staying up late. I hope that chronic disease won't knock on my door.
I'm a senior in my high school, prepare for the University's entrance exam so I'm currently under a lot of pressure, which bring me from an early bird to a night owl. My family is afraid that this habit of mine might lead me to some chronic effects in the future. Unfortunately, I do feel that my grades are prone to fall excessively.
I am an English-learner and I really appreciate the way you explain the vocabularies👍 easy to understand and good for learning many synonyms! Thank you so much!!! ❤
My favorite English learning channel. I enjoy watching and listening your podcasts❤
There was no time to sleep when i studied medicine, so my physiology responded like an night owl. Now i work less than those pass times (50 years ago), but my soul feel don't deserve that rest. It takes time to recover the normal sleep circadian cicle without blame.
Useful! Instructional! Interesting!
Quite captivating

Muslims know this things because Allah said in quran more than 1400 years ago
{وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا (9) وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا (10) وَجَعَلْنَا النَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا (11)} [النبأ]
In English is mean :
and made your sleep for rest(9)and made the night as a cover(10)and made the day for livelihood(11)
It means you must sleep in night at least 10 pm and wake up in 4 before Al-fajr prayer.
I love quran so much ❤
Thank you so much❤
