In fact, in Peszka's study, night owls slept 41 minutes less each night than the other students, but were still attending early classes, during which they reported sleepiness and inability to concentrate, which, unsurprisingly, led to lower scores at exam time...
...bigger problems. The new study found that people who suffered from "significant dozing" - those who almost always fell asleep involuntarily during the day - were 4.5 times more likely to have a stroke than people in the "no dozing" group.
