Sleep Chronotypes: Early Birds vs. Night Owls

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

Human circadian rhythms vary, causing some individuals to feel most alert in the morning (early birds) and others to hit their stride late at night (night owls). Genetic factors, age, and lifestyle all influence one’s chronotype. Modern work schedules often favor early risers, potentially disadvantaging night owls forced to conform. Time zone changes or daylight saving shifts can exacerbate mismatches. Understanding chronotypes can lead employers to consider flexible hours, boosting productivity and well-being by aligning work with an individual’s natural energy peaks.
