Some people are night owls and others are early birds because of their internal clocks. Like how some kids love recess while others prefer quiet time in the library, people have different body rhythms that tell them when to sleep and wake up. A night owl might be more alert at night, like a cat who prefers to roam after dark, while an early bird may feel energized right when the sun comes up.
Examples
- A night owl might stay up late playing video games and wake up after noon, while an early bird gets up with the sun to go for a morning walk.
- At school, some kids are ready to start class at 8 AM, they're early birds. Others need more time to wake up; they’re night owls.
- A night owl might have dinner at 9 PM and feel energized around midnight, while an early bird will be sleepy by 10 PM.
