This obviously doesn’t meant that the clocks of time are cheated and being a night owl makes you younger-although we wish it were that simple. Early Birds are Older Night Owls are Younger
What do you know? Apparently those bursts of creativity are common occurrences during periods of mental fatigue. While analytical problems were successfully solved during optimal timings, insightful problems that required creative thinking were better solved during non-optimal hours – meaning during their less preferred hours. In a study conducted by Mareike Wieth and Rose Zacks in 2011, participants that included both night owls and early birds were given analytical and insight problems to solve. No, there is no typing error here! Reportedly, night owls and morning birds have their bursts of creativity during their “off hours”. Early Birds are Creative during Night Hours Night Owls are Creative in Morning Hours The latter is apparently related to the fact that owls are more likely to indulge in night life where intoxication is prevalent. According to another study with 537 participants, night owls are more likely to consume caffeine from coffee and cola and they are also more likely to consume alcohol and nicotine. But what about coffee? Here’s the interesting part. The lark is more likely to consume more tea than the night owl. Early Birds like Tea Night Owls like Alcohol Evidently, early birds are probably doing most of the work during the hours that fit the world of commerce, allowing success to be in their favor. This, obviously, doesn’t make them more likely to obtain success. The results were in favor of the evening types who were reported to have better scores. Kyllonen measured 420 participants and gave them intelligence tests that involved mathematics, reading comprehension, working memory, and processing speed. Apart from Satoshi Kanazawa’s study, Psychologist Richard D. Success doesn’t have to be linked to “intelligence” at all. Early Birds Are Proactive Night Owls are Smarter Night owls tend to experience the feelings of euphoria during evening after 6 pm. Like a lark, they chirp away their mornings humming in an oh-so-delightful mood-and they don’t even need coffee for it. Morning persons, on the other hand, welcome the morning sun with a big smile on their face. And when they do, they don’t enjoy it at all. Night owls are more likely to hit the snooze button a number of times before they get up in the morning.

Night owls, on the other hand, are more likely to indulge in “extravagance, impulsiveness, and novelty-seeking”. Early Birds are Persistent Perfectionists Night Owls are Go-GettersĪccording to a study conducted by the University of Barcelona, Spain, morning people tend to be more persistent and less likely to experience “fatigue, frustration, and difficulties”. Let’s observe these differences – some of which are actually very surprising! 1. It doesn’t make one better than the other-only slightly different. Regardless, it can’t be denied that both early risers and night owls have their own strengths and weaknesses. Still, many would argue that early risers are better prepped up for success because “they are more proactive” and ready to make things happen. Even owls catch the rodents and insects they are looking for with their amazing sensory capabilities – and they do it darn well without sunlight. This is contrary to popular opinion which holds that early “morning birds always get the worm”. Late nighters you are in for a surprise! Some of you CAN actually dominate and be even more of a genius than the average morning person.Īccording to Satoshi Kanazawa and his study, “More intelligent children are more likely to grow up to be nocturnal adults who go to bed late and wake up late on both weekdays and weekends.” Here’s an in-depth study on the subject by a team of geneticists from the University of Leicester.įor now, let’s focus on how the choice impacts our productivity. Geneticists are now looking even more into depth to figure out which particular “gene(s)” determine our day-loving/night-loving fates. In fact, it may run in the entire family. So if your mama or papa were late nighters, chances are you will be too. Or is it? Some – and by “some” I obviously mean scientists – say that it can be imbedded into our genes.
Being an owl or a lark is just a matter of preference.
