Night owls vs. morning people: Who’s smarter? – The Week

Night owls vs. morning people: Who’s smarter? – The Week.

I found this interesting article after hearing about it on the radio this morning (it’s 3:23 am as I write this post).  I know that these findings are true only because it has been a habit of many intellectuals and inventors to avoid sleep like the plague – especially when in a creative flow.

All the geniuses I know are most productive at night.

Personally, the benefits of working at night are quiet surroundings and minimized interruption. Most of my creative work can be accomplished during this time of day.

Its also astonishing to me how much “noise” people make. It almost seems like they’re trying to fill a void with that noise. To me, that noise is nothing but a major deterrent to mental pondering, problem solving and productivity.
