| Popular science: early to bed and early to get up is not easy to be depressed |
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 20 (Reporter Li Wen) The latest data released on the official website of the World Health Organization show that depression is a common mental illness that affects 264 million people worldwide
.
A new study in the United States shows that for people who are used to going to bed late, if they can advance bedtime by 1 hour, they can reduce the risk of depression by 23%
Previous studies have shown that no matter how long the sleep duration, "night owls" are twice as likely to suffer from depression as those who like to go to bed and get up early
.
Researchers from the Broad Institute and other institutions in the United States tracked the sleep of about 840,000 people and assessed some genetic variations in their genes, which may affect people's work and rest patterns
.
The survey shows that 33% of them like to go to bed early and get up early, and 9% are "night owls
The researchers then tracked the medical records of these people and did their survey on the diagnosis of depression.
They found that people who like to go to bed and get up early have a lower risk of depression
.
Research has not yet clarified whether waking up earlier will have a further effect on people who would have gotten up early, but for those who sleep in the middle or late range, the risk of depression is reduced for every hour of advancement in the midpoint of sleep.
Previous studies have shown that early risers receive more light during the day, which affects hormone secretion and improves mood
.
Celine Vettel of the Broad Institute who participated in the research suggested that if people want to go to bed early and get up early, they can walk or bike to work and dim their electronic devices at night to ensure a bright day and dark environment at night
The latest information published on the WHO's official website shows that depression is characterized by persistent sadness, lack of interest or pleasure, which may disrupt sleep and appetite, and is one of the main causes of disability worldwide
.
Depression is closely related to health problems such as tuberculosis and cardiovascular disease
