I'm a hard-core night owl through and through. I have been ever since I was little. Recent studies have tried to prove whether it's nature or nurture when it comes to each person's individual, unique circadian rhythm. I'm happy to report that it seems that our nocturnal preferences, my fellow night-owls, are rooted in our DNA, meaning that our genetic make-up determines our preferred sleeping patterns. While some people I know are bright-eyed and bushy tailed at 6am (I'm looking at you, PGS!) I'm groggy in the morning no matter how much sleep I get. But keep me up at night and I'm a happy camper. Oh well, thank you deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for the gift of nocturnal preference. My test, quiz and lab report grades thank you. :-) I'm curious to know what type of chronotype you are? I wonder if most of the world are night owls or early birds? I'll have to look into that...
Sleep tight.
