  Speaker 1: Some of us shoot up at 7 a.m. without the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: help of an alarm clock, while others only hit the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: pillow at 7 a.m. So what really dictates your choice
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: of sleep schedule? Well, the circadian rhythm of your body
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: is responsible for regulating your sleep patterns. Genetics weighs less
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: than half of your preference in your sleep schedule, and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it's environmental, social, and personal factors that make up for
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the rest of your sleep schedule. According to research reported
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in Insider 2022, there are six distinct types of sleepers.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Morning larks are most productive from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Afternooners being the most active from 11 to 5 p.m.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Nappers wake up alert, but as the day progresses, their
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: energy dwindles before re-energizing by mid-afternoon. Night owls tend to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: sleep much later. Swifts are those super robots that are
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: alert for the whole day until they naturally fall asleep.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: And finally, the last type are woodcocks. Those are constantly
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: running on 5% of their battery's capacity from the moment
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: they wake up to bedtime. So what does your choice
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of sleep schedule reveal about you? Here's a comparison of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the two extremes, a morning lark and a night owl.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Which one are you? Number one, who's happier? A 2008
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: study published in the journal Social Indicators Research found that
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: morning larks are often happier and have higher life satisfaction
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: compared to their night owl counterparts. A large contributing factor
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to that is morning larks get better social support, as
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: they fit better into the majority of society that is
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: most active in the daytime. Night owls, on the other hand,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: often have a tougher time integrating into society, partially because
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: they may not have the best familial relationships, as they
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: miss out on family times with their sleeping schedules. In
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the morning lark's workplace, they're able to be productive right
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: from the get-go and operate easily in the standard nine
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to five hours. And as such, morning larks tend to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: thrive in a corporate world. Number two, who's smarter? According
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to a study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: night owls are often found to be more intelligent than
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: morning larks, as opposed to the common saying, early birds
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: get the worm. The study states, The results indicate that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: contrary to conventional folk wisdom, evening types are more likely
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to have higher intelligence scores. Night owls were also found
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to have better processing speed and better memory retention than
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: morning larks. In a separate study at University of Liege
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: in Belgium, they found that both morning larks and night
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: owls are productive after waking up naturally, but morning larks'
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: productivity falls off after 10.5 hours of being awake. Night
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: owls prove to be more consistent with their focus and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: productivity with faster reaction time. However, night owls perform poorly academically,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: but night owls are at a disadvantage considering school always
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: starts early. Number three, who's more creative? While both early
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: risers and late risers do experience bursts of creative ideas,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: studies show that early risers do not have these as
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: much as the night owls. It could possibly be linked
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to morning larks usually going by a routine, in contrast
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to night owls who have to learn early on to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: be creative to adapt to their out-of-norm living style. A
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: 2008 study on art students in Taiwan, published in the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: International Journal of Art and Design Education. found that more
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: than half of the art students felt more creative after
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: 10 p.m. Creativity strikes most when the mind wanders. Night
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: owls are often left alone to a quiet atmosphere without
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing their minds
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to freely roam. So, what does your sleep schedule reveal
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: about you? Take everything with a grain of salt. There's
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: very little research and much-needed studies on sleep, personality, and behavior.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And most of us are not just a morning lark
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: or night owl, but a mix of both. Do you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: feel you're a mix of the two? Or are you
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: simply a night owl? Or a napper? A woodcock sleeper?
