Sleep


How ironic. My 200th post at 3 in the morning about the perks on sleeping late.

Now you will read, and read and read this article till the reasons are seared into you skull, whoever you may be. And should you ask me again why I sleep late and how I shouldn't liken the morning to a unicorn, then you will remember this. Deal?

3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late

1. You may need more sleep than you think. Research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they were "well rested" actually performed better and were more alert if they slept another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the lightbulb (damn you, Edison!), the average person slumbered
10 hours a night.

2. Night owls are more creative. Artists, writers, and coders typically fire on all cylinders by crashing near dawn and awakening at the crack of noon. In one study, "evening people"
almost universally slam-dunked a standardized creativity test. Their early-bird brethren struggled for passing scores.

3. Rising early is stressful. The stress hormone cortisol
peaks in your blood around 7 am. So if you get up then, you may experience tension. Grab some extra Zs! You'll wake up feeling less like Bert, more like Ernie.


I have plagarised my piece.Thank you for your attention.
Time to wake at the crack of noon.
