A growing body of research shows that when people sleep can influence mood and mental health. A study from the University of Surrey suggests that night owls—those who prefer late bedtimes—may have a higher risk of depression compared with early risers. The findings point to sleep quality, mindfulness, and lifestyle choices as key mediators.

For Thai readers, this link is particularly relevant. Bangkok’s urban pace, long work hours, and constant device use can push many toward later bedtimes. Night-owl tendencies are common in fast-moving cities, but irregular sleep schedules may carry mental health costs if routines don’t support rest.
