A member asked:
Which is better? early birds or night owls?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No difference: There are old sayings about early to bed and early to rise but these come from days prior to good lighting at night. Most develop their own biorhythm and function well within that cycle. You may have to adjust your times to the needs of your job. But good function is possible with both cycles.
