Staying up late leads to mental decline

The habit of going to bed at midnight and later leads to dulling of the mind, scientists have proven. In a 10-year study, about 23,800 participants underwent cognitive tests. According to the analysis, the brains of "night owls", people who go to bed after midnight, age faster than those of "morning larks". Scientists attribute this, among other things, to the fact that in the evening we smoke more often, eat unhealthy foods, and are generally less active. To avoid a decline in cognitive abilities, experts advise establishing a proper daily routine.
