I searched quite a few webpages, some says that it is beneficial (as the one I cite), some say that it is bad, especially if a person is genetically a night owl, and I suspect that websites as Fortune, Virgin, Forbes, etc. have an interest to say people that they should wake up earlier and work harder. Anyway, Harvard medical school and some researches also recommends getting up earlier (and going to bed earlier). But it seems that there is not so much scientific references about it. What are your thoughts?

I don’t think there’s such a thing as a “genetic night owl”. If you travel to other countries, your body gradually but surely adapts to the local time. If your body is able to adapt to other countries time zones, then adapting to a morning routine is also possible.

This makes sense. I am not sure whether “night owl” / “early bird” categories really exist, but some of articles and YT films suggested that. Anyway, I am attracted to the claim that it is matter of one’s habit, and waking up time can be changed with some initial effort.

I only say this because I was a “night owl” myself, I loved the silence of the dawn and was usually awake after 2AM and more. I learned to wake up early over time and I love waking up early every day, even when I have nothing to do in a day
