Why night owls wake
PEOPLE really can be classed as “early risers” and “night owls”, according to new research.
Scientists have uncovered proof that brain functions peak at different times of the day in different types of people.
Researchers in Canada found that the brains of “morning people” were most excitable at 9am but that this slowly decreased during through the day.
However, for night owls it was the exact opposite with their brains most excitable at 9pm.
The researchers also found that “evening people” became physically stronger throughout the day. But the strength of “morning people” remained much the same before fading later in the day.
