Are you a morning person? Then we have good news for you! You're happier and healthier than people who despise the early morning, according to a new study. The study looked into more than 700 adults with all sorts of different sleep patterns. The findings showed that if you get at least eight hours of sleep a night, your health and outlook on life can improve. So, are you a morning person or a night owl?

BETTYCONFIDENTIAL.COM reports:
A University of Toronto study found that early-risers are healthier too. We've got 8 tips to make you feel better!

No, I'm a night owl.

I've been a night owl for years and I am very happy. The night makes me feel content, and it's when I'm most inspired for my art.
I'm glad my girlfriend is a night person as well, or we'd never see each other! xD

I hate waking up early in the morning. I do it because I have to for school. I get up for school and stay up late closing at work.

I am a morning person, as soon as the birds are up so am I, the only problem is when i don't get enough sleep at night, because it is daylight outside i cant even have a nap, lol My mind is much more clear and I can get much more completed in the am, night time is for relaxing and sleeping. lol

I bet if you study that morning person at 1:00 am when a night owl is very happy you will get a much different response.

Of course the Night Owls are less healthy and happy. We keep getting woke up by those annoyingly perky Morning thingies. Just go the hell away and let us sleep.

I wake up and exercise every morning, then I run for at least 30 minutes to an hour. There is nothing like running in the fresh morning air to invigorate me for the rest of the day.

I only sleep 8 hrs a week not a day, been that way for 20 years. I usually sleep 2-3 hrs every other day or 3rd and between midnight and 4am. I am up early and late, but I have always enjoyed the late evening hours the most !! The best Auroras I've seen are late at night 11pm-3am or very early morning 3-5am. The first one is around midnight, the next one early morning!
