Night owls, rejoice ... You are more intelligent than early risers!

LONDON: Good news for night owls! They are smarter and more creative than disciplined sleepers!
According to research published in The Huffington Post, those who deviate from the normal sleep schedule are considered more intelligent. This finding is supported by research suggesting that those who create new evolutionary patterns (compared to those who stick with the normal patterns developed by our ancestors) are the most progressive.
According to researchers at the University of Madrid, after analyzing the sleeping patterns of 1,000 students, they found that those who went to bed later (and consequently woke up later) scored higher on inductive reasoning tests, a test normally associated with general intelligence. They don’t deny the moments when they’re having a creative breakthrough, wrote Lauren Martin at Elite Daily.
ABC Science reported on a study conducted by the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan in which researchers asked 120 men and women of varying ages to fill out a questionnaire asking if they were of night or morning disposition.
Then, researchers asked participants to do a series of three tests designed to measure creative thinking. Researchers scored the completed activities on originality, elaboration, fluidity and flexibility factors. According to their findings, “evening types aced each test based on these criteria, while morning and intermediate type people struggled to get scores over 50.”
Lead author of the study, Marina Giampietro, believes that this creativity is bred from the “development of a non-conventional spirit and of the ability to find alternative and original solutions.”
It’s all about what you’re doing with the time you have. Yes, early birds might be more productive, but late risers are more creative.
Early risers take advantage of those morning hours to do mundane activities like go to the gym, make coffee and get to work early, but it’s the late sleepers who really take advantage of the night — the special time to create and invent something new. They experience the parts of the day during which they’re awake for the better.
