Early To Rise
Folks who are naturally early risers have an advantage at work and school because their circadian rhythms make it easier for them to arrive promptly and calmly, says a study from the University of Pittsburgh. Biologically, night owls find it tough to wake up on time, and their hectic mornings can throw off the rest of the day. Night owls who want to adjust their body clock may be able to do so by maximizing exposure to morning sunlight, wearing dark glasses in the hours before dusk and gradually shifting to an earlier bedtime.
