Famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richards and Elvis Presley. George W Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10 pm, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, Condoleezza Rice who wakes at 4.30 am, and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks. Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University, said, “Evening types tend to be the more active and creative types, the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are the deducers (推断者), as are often seen with civil servants and accountants.” A previous study of US Air Force recruits found evening types were much better at thinking to solve problems than larks.
