How night owls are cleverer and richer than people who rise earlyBy: malterwitty It has long been held that the early bird catches the worm. But it is the night owl that lasts the distance, research shows. It found that late risers tire less quickly than those who make a point of getting up at the crack of dawn. The study is likely to be embraced by anyone tired of being branded lazy for their love of a lie-in. And it adds to growing evidence that it is night owls that rule the roost.
Famous night owls include Charles Darwin, Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill, who regularly went to bed at 4am and rose late. Due to his sleeping patterns, he often hosted War Cabinet meetings in his bath. It is thought that the division into larks and owls has its roots in evolution, with early risers in the Stone Age taking the initiative in food gathering, while owls stood guard late into the night. Those who fell into neither category could sleep safely in the knowledge that their needs were being taken care of. When humans moved towards tending animals and harvesting crops, larks came in demand for the early starts, while owls started to be thought of as less industrious.
