New research suggests that night owls who went to bed later than 1 a.m. experienced poor mental health outcomes compared to people who went to bed earlier, regardless of their chronotype.
A 2007 survey of over 55,000 people found that chronotypes tend to follow a normal distribution, with extreme morning and evening types on the far ends. [6] There are studies that suggest genes determine whether a person is a lark or an evening person in the same way it is implicated in people's attitude toward authority, unconventional behavior, as well as reading and television viewing ...
