MemeKnight1, this gene evolved in evolution likely due to the fact that someone had to stay up all night and guard the caves and likely developed the creative portion of the brain due to having to entertain themselves all night long like drawing on cave walls etc.

Early to be and early to rise makes a man healthy happy and wise or was it healthy wealthy and wise but all four loses the cadence. Does this mean one can be happy and healthy or wealthy and healthy or happy and wealthy....without being healthy? Sorry lolol

Another rubbish study and get stuffed, Sheep Shepard505. I am resilient and happy. I am not a morning person, end of story. Tell you what, staying asleep one hour later would help a lot of us who are night owls. It's a naturally occurring phenomena and yes some of us are creative and I can sew, do floral arrangements and a dozen other things late at night. It's quieter; I like it. And for all you numbers' people, it also saves on hydro.

Dr jack kruse, a neurosurgeon who has many video talks and posts about sunlight benefits, recommends sitting/walking outside in the morning without glasses long enough for sunlight to reset your circadian rhythm (it changes melatonin production timing.) As a lifelong night owl, I can’t manage early enough for actual sunrise, but I’ve found that even a few minutes shortly after awakening has me yawning by 10pm. Nothing else has ever worked, so it’s quite a small miracle.

If you have delayed sleep phase syndrome which is genetic then you will not have good quality sleep by going to be an hour earlier because the circadian rhythms of those who have it go into their REM deep sleep later than the general population. So if you force yourself to wake up earlier then you will not be well rested and lack of quality sleep would certainly be a factor in depression. Night owls are creative types which are more prone to depression in general. I have had it my whole life and if I go to bed earlier then I end up oversleeping every time I try. It is easier to get up on time if I go to bed somewhat later.

I don't think sleep itself is the problem. Rather, the need for excess sleep, is.

I wish most of the people on the roadway, I mean two tenths of a second behind my behind, you know, just about every winner on the road, would just set their alarm and arise about two seconds earlier, then they could be about two seconds in Front of me. If they were all two seconds in front of me, instead of two tenths of a second behind me, I certainly would feel a bit better.

Agreed. Happier people seem to be early risers.

I hate "New Studies"! I don't need a "study" to tell my how I should be living my life.
