Night owls will find this new research a hoot.

A study from Imperial College London suggests that those most active at night perform better on cognitive tests. 

The researchers analyzed UK Biobank data from more than 26,000 people to see how sleep duration, patterns and quality affect mental acuity and cognitive capacity. Participants completed several tests and identified whether they felt more alert and productive in the morning or evening. 



Researchers found that a person’s preference for p.m. or a.m. activity, also known as chronotype, greatly affected test scores. These chronotypes were designated “night owls” and “morning larks.”
