It seems that the results of this latest study reject all theses heard until today, about the fact that people who wake up early in the morning are more productive. On the contrary! People who have trouble sleeping or stay up late at night have higher cognitive scores than others who start the day very early in the morning.
A recent study by Imperial College London, in which more than 26,820 people over the age of 40 participated, they provided details on their sleep habits from duration to quality through questionnaires.
The study found that those who identified as night types, that is, staying up late into the evening, had better results in cognitive test skills than those who were morning people.
Surprisingly, contrary to what one might think, people who slept late turned out to have stronger and more organized memories, moreover they had lower stress levels. This is because they are generally in a better mood during the day.
"It stands to reason that waking up later in the morning means you're more relaxed in the morning, have more energy that plays a big role in functioning throughout the day, have a stronger cardiovascular system and a stronger nervous system," says Shelby. Harris clinical psychologist.
So, this study seems to refute some of the theories believed until now about the fact that people who wake up early in the morning are more productive and more intelligent than those who sleep less at night or have sleep problems.
