致起床困难户们：教你这样做个早起鸟

事实证明，早起的鸟儿或许真的就能吃到更多的虫子。根据大学生的自我报告，早起的人比晚起的人要更乐观积极。其他研究也发现，“早起鸟”比“夜猫子”更努力更自觉。（不过，早起是否真能让一个人变得更有效率或更加乐观，依然不甚清楚。）

And perhaps the secret to a 4.0 isn’t only hitting the books: Another study of university undergraduates found those who said they function better in the morning received higher grades than those who preferred the evening That’s possibly because morning risers are more likely to get to class on time or to forgo late-night partying. Researchers also suggest memory may improve during sleep, so getting to bed earlier in preparation for a morning alarm could help those exam notes soak in.

或许考高分的秘诀不只是“啃书本”了：大学生的另一项调查发现，那些自称早上头脑更清晰的人，通常也比那些夜晚型的人更容易考高分。这很可能也是因为早起型的人更容易准时上课或不去参加深夜派对吧。研究人员还认为，记忆可能会在睡眠时得到增强，所以早点上床准备第二天早起的话，确实会有助于吸收记忆考试内容吧。

Being a morning person may actually be good for our health, too. When UK researchers questioned adults about their sleep habits, they found people who stay under the covers on the weekdays until 9 AM are more likely to be stressed, overweight, and depressed than those who get up at 7 AM. Another study found teenagers who went to bed and woke up late were less inclined to hit the gym and more likely to be overweight than those who went to bed and woke up early. Talk about waking up on the wrong side of the bed. (Again, remember it’s not clear that waking up early causes stress, depression, or weight gain.)
