Do early birds have insects? What about the night owl !?

As we all know, early adopters have good commercial advantages in the business field. What about the situation of a large number of night owls? They also have strong advantages. Next we will introduce several celebrity cases that pass the night's lonely time with the highest efficiency.

　　

Early birds have insects. The survey shows that people who get up early are more active and act on their goals, including Steve Jobs, Newmark of Craigslist, and David Kapo, founder of Tumblr, who can have breakfast almost every day and see the sun rising.

　　

However, this does not mean that the night owl has lost its advantage. Jin ze zhiboshi of the London Business School of Economics and Political Science and his colleagues found that the night owl did not lose its advantage by missing the early morning. They found that different sleeping habits have different effects on life, and those with high IQ tend to go to sleep late. from active mobility to late-night work, they have a biological evolutionary hierarchy, sleep people generally "have high-level cognitive capabilities for complex things ". Investigators from Belgium and Sweden also found that early adopters usually take longer to rest, and they don't concentrate much at the end of the day, while those who are sleeping late are just the opposite, when I got off work, I stared at my computer like a "night owl.

　　

However, this is only a general investigation. To be confirmed, the Fast Company website launched a night owl test. It sent emails to some famous people in the middle of the night to check whether they are still online, let's take a look at the reply time of the three celebrities:

His sleep habit starts from high school. "When I was in high school, my parents and I were crowded in a small apartment, and there was basically no privacy or space during the day, so they could not concentrate. So I have to wait until no one else can come and do my own thing ."

　　

"Sleep has become a habit," dessay. "during the day, I spend time meeting with famous entrepreneurs, and only have time to think independently at night ."

I have watched TV with my parents since I was a child until late at night, and my parents have slept at 8 o'clock ."

　　

"I respect the late night. When my children were young, I liked their quiet time at night after they fell asleep. At this time, I can call a global team to hold meetings, send back emails, and make reading lights ."

Although it sounds a little cruel to myself, in the middle of the night, my mind is pouring into my mind like spring water. How can I miss such a good time period. And always turn on the TV, otherwise it will be too lonely. I can have three or four cups of coffee a night, which is truly refreshing ."
