Just a few small changes can turn ‘night owls’ – forever late to – into morning people within a few weeks. A study involving night owls, whose average bedtime was 2:30am with a wake-up time 10:15am, found the benefits of consistently an early night included feeling less stressed and depressed, as well as less sleepy during the day. To change their habits, they were told to get plenty of daylight early doors, eat lunch at the same time every day and dinner no later than 7pm. Th e results showed an increase in cognitive (reaction time) and physical (grip strength) performance during the morning, while peak performance times shifted the from evening to afternoon.
