• Resumen

  • They say the early bird catches the worm, but night owls may be missing far more than just a tasty snack. Researchers have discovered the first physical evidence of brain differences that distinguish early risers from people who like to stay up late. The differences might explain why night owls are at greater risk of depression. Around 10% of people qualify as morning people or larks, and a further 20% are night owls--with the rest of them falling somewhere in between.
