The early bird catches the worm ... and he's chipper all day, too. Morning people are happier and more satisfied with life than night owls, a new study suggests, according to LiveScience.
"We found that older adults reported greater positive emotion than younger adults, and older adults were more likely to be morning-type people than younger adults," study researcher Renee Biss, a graduate student at the University of Toronto, told LiveScience. "The 'morningness' was associated with greater happiness emotions in both age groups."
Only about 7 percent of young adults are morning types, but this tends to change as people age. Morning people also reported feeling healthier than night owls. So why are morning types so perky? Well, they might be more likely to get enough sleep, but they're also on track with the rest of the world. "Society's expectations are far more organized around a morning-type person's schedule," Biss told LiveScience. Are you a morning person or a night owl?

+8I may rise in the morning, but I certainly don't shine. Who's happy about getting up at the butt crack of dawn?

- debhead 2012/06/16 12:47:02Night owlAfter years of working graveyard I'm still a Night owl. Noon is when I usually get up and start my. Activities and appointments are scheduled for in the afternoon. My husband works from 3p.m. till 11 p.m. so I want to be up, fix his dinner and spend time with him when he comes home. We go to bed together around 5 or 6 a.m.. It works great for us. We also live in Las Vegas where our schedule is normal to a lot of people.reply

- Dave Hampson 2012/06/15 06:42:57Night owl+1Night owls (seems redundant) are less happy because they have time to ruminate. A life unexamined is not worth living. Morning types are more likely to be "chipper" because they just dont get it. They are oblivious and therefore happier in their delusions.reply

- bt sedlock Crista ... 2012/06/16 17:00:23I am defintely a night person. But alot of people who go to bed late at night, including myself can wake very cranky in the morning even depressed. And studies show that people who wake in the morning without a good amount of sleep can start experiencing memory loss.reply
