BBC Science Focus Magazine reports a study which will be good news for night owls.
A huge new British study involving data from two cohorts featuring tens of thousands of people. Led by researchers at Imperial College in London, the results showed that people with a night owl chronotype had "superior" cognitive function compared with their early-rising counterparts.
As the researchers put it: "Morning types consistently showed the lowest cognitive scores in both cohorts, with scores improving for intermediate types and reaching higher levels for evening types".
I've been a night owl all my life, and reasonably intelligent as well. It is good to know the two go together.
