Early Birds vs. Night Owls

Pros:

1. Intelligence
2. Positive personality
3. Healthier
4. Life balance

Cons:

1. Energy crash: Whereas night owls get a second burst of energy in the later hours of the day, early birds tend to lose productivity and energy as the day goes on without getting a natural energy boost to keep them going.
2. Tend to have higher levels of stress hormones, which can result in health issues like migraines, anxiety, and depression.
3. Less socialization: Because early birds are wired to begin feeling tired earlier during the night, they may have a more difficult time in their social sphere.
