1
Some of us shoot up at 7 a .m without the help of an alarm clock, while others only hit the pillow at 7 a .m.
2
So what really dictates your choice of sleep schedule?
3
Well, the circadian rhythm of your body is responsible for regulating your sleep patterns.
4
Genetics weighs less than half of your preference in your sleep schedule,
5
and it's environmental, social, and personal factors that make up for the rest of your sleep schedule.
6
According to research reported in Insider 2022, there are six distinct types of sleepers.
7
Morning larks are most productive from 9 a .m to 11 a .m., afternooners being the most active from 11 to 5 p .m.
8
Nappers wake up alert, but as the day progresses, their energy dwindles before re -energizing by mid -afternoon.
9
Night owls tend to sleep much later.
10
Swifts are those super robots that are alert for the whole day until they naturally fall asleep.
11
And funnily, the last type are woodcocks.
12
Those are constantly running on 5 % of their battery's capacity from the moment they wake up to bedtime.
13
So what does your choice of sleep schedule reveal about you?
14
Here's a comparison of the two extremes, a morning lark and a night owl.
15
Which one are you?
16
Number one, who's happier?
17
A 2008 study published in the journal
18
Social Indicators Research found that morning larks are often happier and have higher life satisfaction compared to their night owl counterparts.
19
A large contributing factor to
20
that is morning larks get better social support as they fit better into the majority of society
21
that is most active in the daytime.
22
Night owls, on the other hand, often have a tougher time integrating into society,
23
partially because they may not have the best familial relationships as they miss out on family times with their sleeping schedules.
24
In the morning larks' workplace, they're able to be productive right from the get -go and operate easily in the standard nine to five hours,
25
and as such, morning larks tend to thrive in a corporate world.
26
Number two, who's smarter?
27
According to a study published in the journal
28
Personality and Individual Differences, night owls are often found to be more intelligent than morning larks, as opposed to the common saying,
29
early birds get the worm.
30
The study states, the results indicate that contrary to conventional folk wisdom, evening types are more likely to have higher intelligence scores.
31
Night owls were also found to have better processing speed and better memory retention than morning larks.
32
In a separate study at University of Lege in Belgium, they found that both morning larks and night owls are productive after waking up naturally,
33
but morning larks' productivity falls off after 10 .5 hours of
34
being awake night owls proved to be more consistent with their focus
35
and productivity with faster reaction time however night owls perform poorly academically
36
but night owls are at a disadvantage considering school always starts early number three who's more creative
37
while both early risers and late risers do experience bursts of creative ideas studies show
38
that early risers do not have these as much as the night owls
39
it could possibly be linked to morning larks usually going by
40
a routine in contrast to night owls who have to learn
41
early on to be creative to adapt to their
42
out -of -norm living style a 2008 study on art students in taiwan published in the international journal of art
43
and design education found that more than half of the art students felt more are creative after 10 p .m.
44
Creativity strikes most when the mind wanders.
45
Night owls are often left alone to a quiet atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing their minds to freely roam.
46
So what does your sleep schedule reveal about you?
47
Take everything with a grain of salt.
48
There's very little research and much needed studies on sleep, personality, and behavior.
49
And most of us are not just a morning lark or night owl, but a mix of both.
50
What's most important, regardless of your sleep schedule, is that you have a good cycle of light and deep sleep,
51
and you can wake up refreshed and feeling your best.
52
Do you feel you're a mix of the two?
53
Or are you simply a night owl or a napper, a woodcock sleeper?

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

El hablante usa 3 contracciones y formas reducidas, como don't, they're, you're. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Los sonidos de “th”: rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/, thrive /θɹajv/
  • Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: contrast /kənˈt(ʃ)ɹæst/, conventional /kənˈvɛnʃənl̩/, partially /ˈpɑɹʃəli/, satisfaction /sætɪsˈfækʃən/, retention /ɹɪˈtɛnʃən/
  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, intelligent /ɪnˈtɛlɪd͡ʒənt/, satisfaction /sætɪsˈfækʃən/, creativity /kri.eɪˈtɪv.ᵻ.ti/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: swift /swɪft/, sleeper /ˈsliːpə(ɹ)/
  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: productive /pɹəˈdʌk.tɪv/, reveal /ɹɪˈviːl/, productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, conventional /kənˈvɛnʃənl̩/, creativity /kri.eɪˈtɪv.ᵻ.ti/
  • /z/ — sonora, no /s/: wisdom /ˈwɪzdəm/, oppose /əˈpoʊz/, riser /ˈɹaɪ.zə(ɹ)/, energize /ˈɛnəd͡ʒaɪz/, extremes /ɪkˈstɹimz/

  2. Empieza a velocidad 0,75×, haz shadowing frase por frase y vuelve a la velocidad normal cuando te resulte fácil.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como owl, productive, naturally.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
