Who is more intelligent – the night owl – or the early bird?
If you’re a night owl – you might be a little smarter than your early bird counterparts. In a recent study - children with “dull” IQs grew up into early-to-bed adults. Kids with an IQ over 125 had an average adult bedtime of 12:29 am.
This phenomenon is linked back to our ancient ancestors. Unlike true nocturnal species – humans don’t have those built in tools – we rely heavily on eyesight to get through life. Those who ventured out in the dark had to tap into and strengthen other instincts for navigation and self-preservation.
