Go to Sleep Late: And Other Advice for Night Owls - E-book - ePub

Did you know that being a night owl is NOT a result of laziness or poor habits? It is not a choice but a GENETIC REALITY in the same way some people are left-handed or have green eyes. Recently, science has made significant strides in chronobiology - the study of genes and their impact on your biological rhythm. The new science, combined with the author's journey as a night owl, serves as the foundation for this book, which answers some of the most common questions, such as: 'Can a night owl become a morning person?' This book helps night owls understand how their biology works and explains why they are different.  It talks about the advantages and disadvantages of their genetic makeup and how it changes over one's life span.  It also discusses some practical aspects of being a night owl, and the impact living in the early-riser society has on their body and mind when consistently functioning out of sync with their biological rhythm.
Ultimately, the book focuses on optimum strategies to improve night owls' physical and mental health and helps to dispel the stigma associated with waking up late.
