Night owls vs Early birds
A person who stays awake and does things at night and gets up late is called a night owl. A person who goes to bed early and gets up early in the morning is called a “early bird.”
This way of putting people into groups based on how they sleep is called a chronotype. There are actually four chronotypes: Lions, who are most active in the morning, Bears, who are most active from late morning to early afternoon, Wolves, who are most active in the evening, and Dolphins.
Circadian rhythms, which are part of the body’s internal clock, control when you sleep and when you wake up. So, genes have an effect on how people sleep.
Even though many successful people praise the early-bird chronotype and try to get others to be like them, both night owls and early birds have the same chance of being productive and becoming successful.
But society is set up for people who like to get up early. For example, most schools, colleges, and offices start at 9 a.m., which is good for people who like to wake up early. So, night owls end up not getting enough sleep, which makes them feel tired during the day. This is why many people who sleep late have trouble getting enough sleep, which can lead to mental health problems like anxiety and depression. So, people who get up early are happier than those who stay up late.
Night owls are less likely to be active because they don’t have enough time to work out.
Night owls can better balance work and sleep now that many offices offer flexible work hours.
Our chronotypes change over the course of our lives because the chemicals in our bodies change.
Changes to sleep patterns can be made, but they should be made slowly. For example, if you usually wake up at 6, you could move it back an hour and wake up at 5 for a few days to get used to the new schedule.
It’s important to know our circadian rhythms so that we can make the most of our most productive times of the day and plan our days so that we get enough sleep.

Conclusion:
People who get up early are called “early birds,” and people who sleep late at night are called “night owls.” Our circadian rhythms, which are part of the body’s internal clock, have a lot to do with how we sleep. It’s important to know our circadian rhythms so we can make the most of the best times of the day to get things done.
