AoS Lifestyle^TM Saves Lives

As we all know, a key component of the Ace of Spades Lifestyle^TM is sleeping to an appropriate hour, say a gentlemanly noon. It turns out that not only is this approach a physical necessity after a night of hobo hunting, it’s also just plain good for you.

Generations have praised the wisdom of getting up early in the morning, but a Japanese study says early-risers are actually at a higher risk of developing heart problems.

The study, conducted by researchers from several universities and hospitals in the western Japanese city of Kyoto, revealed a link between wake-up times and a person's cardiovascular condition.

"Rising early to go to work or exercise might not be beneficial to health, but rather a risk for vascular diseases," said an abstract of the study.

See, I am not a lazy night owl who has no problem sleeping to noon if it weren’t for that damn alarm. No, I am simply taking good care of my heart. And you annoying morning people who like to mock those of us who don’t function well until, say 1pm or so? You’re going to die sooner than us. Ha! It’s science!
