Staying up past midnight may be advantageous when it comes to brain activity. Scientists speculate this could be due to the вЂњpermanent jet lagвЂќ night owls suffer from. The findings revealed night owls' white matter was in worse condition than their early bird counterparts, especially in areas associated with sadness and depression, according to the 2014 study published in the journal NeuroImage. Researchers in Germany hooked up early birds and night owls and those вЂњin the middle of the road,вЂќ also known as hummingbirds, to a diffusion MRI machine to see what was happening inside their heads. Night owls have different brains.Д¬hronotypes, natural tendencies toward sleeping and waking, are also different when it comes to their brain. These traits tend to be associated with greater occupational success and higher incomes. A 2013 study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences found while morning birds did outperform night owls in school, night owls tend to score higher on inductive reasons tests, which is related to general intelligence.
