If you regularly stay up to catch the late show with the host of your choice, or watch the end of a favorite classic movie, you might be more than a bit drowsy the next day, you might also be putting yourself at risk for some pretty dangerous artery problems.A first ever study, presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 58th Annual Scientific Sessions, looks at bedtimes and health, and finds that men who go to bed after midnight have much more arterial stiffening, an early signal of atherosclerosis (plaque build up on the insides of the arteries).
