Well, the circadian rhythm of your body is responsible for regulating your sleep patterns.

Genetics weighs less than half of your preference in your sleep schedule,

According to research reported in Insider 2022, there are six distinct types of sleepers.

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

31

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

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?

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
