"Create a free account" Note one of the words there. I think I logged in like 5 years ago.

I'm not interested in handing out my email address to read an article, and I would expect most HN users feel the same way.

Well, then use bugmenot or do the 10 seconds of work to create a temporary email.

We don't need more advertising-backed or bankroll-backed journalism just to save you 10 seconds of convenience which I see HNers also complain about all the time.

This is about a study published last year in April in Chronobiology International: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07420528.2018.1...

News sites have picked it up and produced headlines on the same study with the complete opposite sentiment: https://news.sky.com/story/nocturnal-night-owls-risk-early-d...

My understanding is from the article that night owls are not doomed to die early in the literal sense, but not being able to work, eat and exercise in the "proper time" still makes them susceptible to diabetes, neurological, respiratory and cardiovascular problems, etc.

So yeah, still doomed.

That stopped working for me. It seems I'm not logged in though, I just have most cookies set to delete when I close the browser.
