The Health Debate: Early Birds vs. Night Owls

Research suggests that early birds, who prefer to wake up early and go to bed at a decent time, may have health benefits such as increased physical activity, lower risk of depression, lower risk of type 2 diabetes, and a longer life. However, night owls have their own advantages, including creativity and mental alertness. The preference for a sleep schedule can be influenced by biological factors, habits, and external factors like work and family. While society tends to favor early birds, it is important to prioritize getting enough sleep, regardless of the preferred sleep schedule.
