Who's More Productive? Morning or Night People

Are morning people more productive than night people?

There has been debate over who is more productive. Morning people or night people? Morning people tend to go to sleep earlier, wake up earlier, and feel their best towards the beginning of the day. Night people tend to go to sleep later, enjoy sleeping in, and feel their best later in the day. Researchers have taken time to look into who is more productive. 

Morning people are found to have an easier start to the day, wake up happier, and get things done sooner. They have an easier time adjusting to schedules, which makes a workday more productive. However, since they go to bed early, morning people sometimes have a hard time maintaining relationships and keeping up with social connections. 

Night people don’t have as easy of a start to their day, as they are found to wake up in a worse mood than morning people. Being a night owl can make it harder to adjust to schedules since most of society is structured around the usual 9-5 schedule. The beginning of the day can be rough, but they usually spurt with energy towards the end of the day when they get things done. 

I would say I am a morning person but that is not the case for everyone. Your mood, health, and productivity are all based on the amount of sleep you get. Scientists say that morning people are more productive, but that is all based around the 9-5 schedule, whereas night people would lack sleep in that situation.

I feel like I have much more energy in the afternoons, but I can't seem to wake up in the mornings. I think morning people are  more productive because they have more of a morning rotine and they don't wait until last minute to get stuff done.
