Some people are very active during the day time and some people are very active during the night time. If you are a nocturnal person, this article might be helpful for you to understand how it can be harmful. Being active during the day time or during the night time is something that comes out of practice. I'm someone who believe that every human being will need a good night sleep and will not be able to focus more during the night time when they are really sleepy. Some people might argue saying that it is very comfortable for them to work during the night time instead of day time. I would say it is all because of the practice.

Harmful effects of being nocturnal

Human beings are highly dependent on sun and other living beings that are dependent on sun for energy. Being nocturnal can create lots of harm to both physical and mental health. People quite often compare themselves with other nocturnal living beings. When science says that the body metabolism of one person is different from another person, it is quite obvious that the metabolism will differ from humans to that of bats for example. If the bats can live a night life, it doesn't mean that human will also be highly adaptable to live a night life. You can easily list our what harm being nocturnal can create.

If you sacrifice the most required sleep for your body, it will gradually lose its strength. The requirement of a good night sleep can never be compensated with the help of a day time sleep. You can observe this by yourself. After skipping a night sleep, if you try to compensate with the help of day sleep, you will still feel the tiredness in your body. It will take few more days for you to get your energy back after continuous night sleeps. Especially young age people will not find the effects immediately. It can take some time to surface. The health issues can even be indirect. It need not necessarily be a direct impact.

Sleep heals body and time heals mind

I live with the above quotes. You can also do a cross verification to acknowledge this fact. Any body related problems can be easily overcome with the help of a good sleep. Every day our body is exposed to lots of wear and tear. In order to be heal by itself, human body need a proper sleep. That too a night time sleep is very important for your body to actually take rest. Every human being is dependent on Sun for energy. Not just humans the main energy source for plants is Sun and we humans are highly dependent on plants for our energy either directly or indirectly.

Ideal way to keep the body healthy is by making a practice to getup early in the morning and stay active throughout the day time and sleep early at night. It also helps in maintaining the body temperature. Once if you make it as a practice for few days to getup early, it will become easier to do it every day. Most of the successful people in the world have had a practice of rising up early in the morning. Even though they sleep a bit late on certain days, they never miss to wake up early in the morning. That should have been the main reason for their success. If we have to be successful in our life, that can even be the secret ingredient.
