Warning call to who sleeps late Night

Here is a warning call from scientist those who sleep late.

Coming to matter, according to results of a small study, People who go to sleep late seem to have less control over their compulsive thoughts.

Meredith Coles, Professor of Psychology at Binghamton University, State University of New York said "That we find that there are specific negative consequences of sleeping at the wrong times, that's something to educate the public about." said

The researchers scrutinized 20 people diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) a common chronic disorder that causes repetitive behavior and 10 individuals exhibiting OCD-like symptoms during one week of sleep.

Participants wrote down sleep diaries and gave daily ratings of perceived degree of control over obsessive thoughts and repetitive behaviors.

The researchers discovered that previous night's bedtime considerably affected participants' perceived ability to control their obsessive thoughts and compulsive behavior on the next day.

"We're really interested in how this kind of unusual timing of sleep might affect cognitive functioning," said Jessica Schubert from University of Michigan Medical School.

"One possibility is impulse control. It might be that something about shifting the timing of your sleep might reduce your ability to control your thoughts and your behaviors," Schubert said.

"So, it might make it more likely that you're going to have a hard time dismissing intrusive thoughts characteristic of obsessions, and it might make it more difficult for you to refrain from compulsive behaviors that are designed to reduce the anxiety caused by obsessive thoughts," Schubert added.
