A favorite trope of sleep research is to divide the entire human population into two cute, feathered categories: early birds (also called larks) and night owls. Often, these studies link people’s natural sleep patterns—called their chronotype—with some waking behavior or personality trait.
It doesn’t take long to see which team more often comes out on top. (Hint: it’s the one that catches the worm.) Research says that early birds are happier, more punctual, do better in school, and share more conservative morals. Night owls are more impulsive, angry, and likely to become cyberbullies; they have shoddier diets and, most critically, are worse at kicking soccer balls.
But can the population really be categorized so neatly? Or is the research painting an incomplete and overly moralistic picture?
A study published May 24 in PLOS ONE by a group of Polish researchers takes a fresh look at the long-established link between being an early riser and being conscientious by examining a separate but potentially important variable that might underlie the link: being religious. The team found that people who woke up earlier tended to score higher on all dimensions of religiosity, leading them to conclude that being religious could help explain why early risers are more conscientious and more satisfied overall. “Morningness” might be closely aligned with godliness, in part because certain religions practice early-morning prayer—so religion could be driving the link between rising early and being conscientiousness.

I tend to agree with this post. I am an early riser and the early mornings are the best part of the day for meditation and healing practices. The day begins well, so, the it flows on smoothly and peacefully helping me maintain my calm.
Your posts are quite nice. I hereby invite you to be reading my posts as well as your comments would be valuable.

Thanks for your feedback, I love to see the sunrise but, I am also, nocturnal, plus I need at least 8 hours of sleep to feel rested.
