Tim Cook gets up at 3：45 am,Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3：30 am and Richard Branson at 5：45 amand,as we all know,the earlybirds catches the worm.But just because some successful people wake up early,does that mean its a trait most of them share？Andif the idea of having exercised,planned your day,eaten breakfast,visualized and done one task before 8 am makesyou want to roll over and hit snooze till next Saturday,are you really doomed to a less successful life？For about half of us,this isnt really an issue.Its estimated that some 50%of the population isnt reallymorning or eveningoriented,but somewhere in the middle.Roughly one in four of us,though,tend moretoward brighteyed early risers,and another one in four are night owls.For them,the effects can go beyondfalling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work.Numerous studies have found that morning people are more selfdirected and agreeable.And compared tonight owls,they plan for the future more and have a better sense of well being.Although morning types may achieve more academically,night owls tend to perform better on measures ofmemory,processing speed and cognitive（认知）ability,even when they have to perform those tasks in themorning.Nighttime people are also more open and more creative.And one study shows that night owls areashealthy and wise as morning typesand a little bit wealthier.Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material？Dont set your alarm for 5 am Just yet.As itturns out,overhauling（全面改革）your sleep time may not have much effectIf people are left to their naturally preferred time,they feel much better.They say that they are much moreproductive.The mental capacity they have is much broader,says Oxford University
