This document discusses genetic factors that influence whether people are "early birds" or "night owls". It states that one's sleep cycle is largely predetermined by ancestors and related to levels of brain white matter and chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. While early birds tend to be more optimistic and less prone to issues like depression, night owls are said to be more creative and cognitively able, though they face challenges like "social jetlag" from living in a different circadian rhythm than others. Ultimately, it argues that night owls are not inherently less successful, just operating on a slightly delayed schedule due to genetic predispositions.

1. EARLY BIRD

2. Let me ask you a Question…..

5. Have you ever questioned why ?

6. Have you been told you should fix your sleep?

7. Well we have an answer for you

8. Its almost entirely genetically predetermined
ANCESTORS

9. Chances are your sleep cycle has been passed down from your ancestors to you

10. Night owls have significantly less white matter in the brain
As a result less pathways for feel good harmones like seratonine and dopamine

11. Gives night owls a clear disadvantage
To the point where scientists coined the term social jetlag
Early birds are more optimistic , lower chances to get deppressed and addicted to
substances

12. • These abilities allow them a higher chance of being successful

14. Think about living in entirely different timezone everyday……

15. Ofcourse chronic deprivation of sleep would lead to low grades,

16. If youre a night owl you are probably dissapointed about what you read
but dont worry

17. Night owls are more creative, higher cognitive abilities and known to be
risk takers

18. Studies show that even a slightest change in Per1 gene in you can
change your sleep cycle by 1hour……

19. And for teenagers who tend to be more night owls

20. Usually are this way because of the harmonal changes in puberty
But this tends to pan out into your genetic default as they enter adulthood

21. So, there maybe some truth to early birds get the worm

22. Night owls are exactly lagging behind in life theyre just lagging behind
in time
