The brains of early risers and those of night owls function differently, reveals a study conducted by University of Alberta scientists.
The researchers looked at two groups of people: those who wake up early and feel most productive in the morning, and those who were identified as evening people, those who typically felt livelier at night.
Early rising from sleep can run in families
Scientists have found out that the pattern of rising early from bed in the mornings have a genetic component and thus may run in families.

The scientists later used magnetic resonance imaging-guided brain stimulation to test muscle torque and the excitability of pathways through the spinal cord and the brain.
They observed that the brains of early risers were most excitable at 9 a.m. That slowly decreased through the day, according to the research team.
Late-night Shift Work 'ups Cancer Risk'
Late-night shift work may increase the risks of developing cancer, says a new study.

The researchers also observed that evening people became physically stronger throughout the day, but the maximum amount of force morning people could produce remained the same.

Indian Kids Not Getting Enough Sleep
An extensive study to evaluate sleep patterns in Caucasian and Asian children found considerable differences in sleep patterns with Indian children sleeping much less than the rest.

The researchers say that these findings suggest that nervous-system functions are different and have implications for maximizing human performance.
