Is it better to be a morning person or a night owl? Your ideal sleep schedule depends less on discipline and more on biology. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Years ago I read an article asking, "Are you a night owl or a morning lark?" The piece explored the notion that some of us do our best thinking beyond midnight, while others prefer to rise and shine early and take in the day.

Night owls may struggle to pay attention during the day because their brains function less well. Late-sleepers show fewer interactions between the parts of the brain which control mental tasks, a study has found. They also have a poorer attention span and slower reaction times, which could make it much harder to do their day jobs.

Researchers led by the University of Birmingham scanned the brains of 38 people who were either morning'larks' or night owls.

Who knew he would rest in peace so soon?
