The phrase, "The early bird the worm" may true. It means people who wake up early get more than people who don't. Another saying is from former U.S. President Benjamin Franklin. He : "Early to bed, early to rise a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." Scientists have that people who go to bed before 11pm may better in life than people who sleep around 2:30am. The researchers are from Birmingham's Centre for Human Brain Health in the U.K. Their research showed that people who slept and early (early birds) had an advantage over people who slept and up late (night owls). There differences in the brain function of early birds and night owls.

The scientists 38 people in their research. The people questionnaires about their sleeping pattern and when they tired during the day. They were then put into an early bird or night owl group based on their answers. All of the people MRI scans on their brain and different tests throughout the day. The early birds said they less sleepy and were able to the tests quicker than the night owls. The researchers said there were big differences between the two groups. The researchers said: "Night owls during school have to up earlier, then they into work and they have to get up earlier, so they're constantly having to against their preferences and natural rhythms."
