If you are not a "night creature", this is what happens to your brain after midnight

A study found that negative emotions tend to get our attention more than positive ones, dangerous thoughts proliferate in our brains that drain them into fatigue and exhaustion, and drugs and smoking seem more attractive under the cover of darkness.

Researchers have conducted several studies to find out what happens to the human brain if it stays awake after midnight.

A new study, titled "The Mind After Midnight", found that the human body and the human mind follow a natural cycle of 24-hour activity that affects our emotions and behavior, according to the German website "Deutsche Vila".

They found that getting up until the early hours of the morning was associated with an increased risk of suicide, engaging in violent behavior, alcohol and drug abuse, and increased food intake, as reported by CBC Boston and other media.

The researchers concluded that the brain is pre-programmed to wake up during the day and sleep at night.

But if the brain stays awake longer than usual, the neurons won't have time to recover, they'll get tired, and they won't be able to function at their best, either that night or the next.

However, the result of the study does not apply to everyone: There are some people, called "nocturnal creatures," who are more productive or creative at night.
