Medical Video: 🧠 5 Common Foods That Cause Or Increase Depression - by Dr Sam Robbins
Most mothers who act as housewives and career women routinely wake up early every day. Did you know that in addition to making sure all matters are ready early, mothers who wake up this morning are safer from the risk of depression than women who wake up late? Curious why? Consider the explanation below, yes.
Women who wake up early avoid the risk of depression
According to a new study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, collaborative research from Colorado University (CU) Boulder, Channing Division of Network Medicine and Women's Hospital in Boston states that middle-aged women who wake up early are mentally healthier.
Research that records data on 32,000 female nurses found a relationship between chronotype (someone's hours tend to sleep / wake up) and interference mood. Chronotype is part of the body's biological clock in humans. Chronotype someone can see the type, when a person's organs tend to actively work and when the person sleeps everyday.
In this study, there are two chronotype used. First, women who sleep fast, then morning and afternoon activities. The second is those who often stay up late, namely women who are still awake in the middle of the night and afternoon.
According to Dr. Céline Vetter, director of Circadian and Sleep Epidemiology Laboratory (CASEL), there is a simple relationship between chronotype and risk of depression. The researchers looked at these risks from questionnaire data from 32,470 female participants with an average age of 55 years.
In the first questionnaire in year 2009, all participants found no one had depression. When asked about their sleep patterns, 37 percent explained that they were like to wake up early. Then, 53 percent again claimed that they were in the middle, which sometimes got up early and sometimes woke up late because the night was still awake. While the remaining 10 percent claimed they like staying up late and wake up late
This study took four years to see whether there were participants who were depressed or not. In addition, also examined the risk factors for depression from body weight, physical activity, other health conditions, duration of sleep, and whether the woman worked shift night or not.
After four years passed, the findings of experts showed that women who like to stay up late, tend to choose to be single or not married. Most of them are smokers with erratic sleep patterns.
Whereas women who like to wake up earlyhave a risk of depression 12 to 27 percent lower than women who are in the middle between likes to be fast and like staying up late. Women who like to wake up late also found 6 percent more at risk of depression than those who sometimes sleep fast and sometimes stay up late.
Besides lifestyle andchronotypesresearchers also found that there were certain genes such as PER2 and RORA that affected the hours of sleep of someone at risk as well as depression.
Then how to prevent depression?
Vetter said that not everyone who likes staying up late and wakes up late must be depressed, huh. There are also some people who like to stay up but their mental and physical condition healthy. Unfortunately, this research indeed still needs further study and analysis.
However, it's a good idea to get up early for do other things that are beneficial for physical and mental. For example, exercising, spending quality time with your family, preparing a healthy breakfast, and taking time for your hobbies.
Also pay attention to various depressive symptoms such as appetite and changing sleep patterns, not getting excited, getting tired easily, and feeling hopeless. Immediately contact a doctor or psychological therapist for help.
