Gizmodo -------- Night owls may be more fun at parties, but a preference for staying out late may come with some serious drawbacks, suggests a new study published this week in Chronobiology International.

Around a half a million participants enrolled in the study from 2006 to 2010 and have had their health tracked ever since.
