Just like day animals and night animals.

We do not need scientific research to know that human beings are divided into two - those who function well in the morning, and those who do best at night.
But a new study reveals something we actually did not know - morning people not only get light and pleasant awakenings, they are also healthier and function better at work.

This way you will get back to sleep easily

The gap between morning people and night people is not just a matter of habit or schedule, it is a real difference in the brain. What helps morning people to be fresh and happy when they wake up are certain groups of genes called chronotypes. Chronotypes is a classification system of sleep and productivity schedules. It comes originally from the animal world, like animals that are active during the day versus at night, and in recent years this area has also been researched in the context of humans.

Until recently it was thought that the same chronotypes are only related to our sleeping habits, but the new study reveals that they are also related to the question of how many hours we will be able to sleep and how we will function at work the day after.

To find out how chronotypes affect the lives of people, researchers from Finland, whose study was published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine, examined the data of a large group of people taking part in the 1966 Northern Finland Birth Study. Humans, children of 1966, with an almost 50/50 division between men and women.
When they reached the age of 46, each participant was asked about different aspects of his life, including sleep patterns, general health and work habits.
From these data, participants were divided into three groups - Adam Boker, known as type M;
An Arab person, called E-type;
Or an intermediate chronotype.
The researchers found that most men were type M (typical morning, 46 percent) or intermediate (44 percent), with only 10 percent being type E. Women were quite similar, with 44 percent being morning typical, 44 percent being intermediate and 12 percent Were type E. The bias towards the morning in this study may be related to the age of the population, since older people often wake up earlier than adolescents and young adults.
Morning types are more likely to find a relationship.

According to the study, compared to M (morning) types, E (evening) types were worse off in different aspects of life.
They are less old and more likely to be single and unemployed, even after deducting other variables.
In addition, nocturnal birds had lower performance at work more frequently than morning mornings, with 1 in 4 such participants reporting difficulties at work.
Although these results are consistent with previous studies, until the genetics of chronotypes are fully elucidated, it is still only a correlation and not a significant causal factor.
Researchers suggest that chronotypes should be taken into account when designing work schedules to ensure the best health and performance on the part of employees.
