All the creatures of the world wake up with the sunrise and sleep with the moon.

But among the birds there is an owl, such a bird that wakes up after everyone's sleep. That is, he is awake at night and sleeps during the day. You will be surprised to know that not only owls, there are also some humans who are nocturnal. Those who study till late night, use computer, mobile etc. are called night owls. The world's greatest scientists, philosophers, leaders, and successful people are mostly night owls. They stay awake till late night and work hard to achieve their goals.It is not that those who sleep early and wake up early do not try to achieve their goals. But those who wake up in the night and try to make their dreams come true, they do something special and different.

Adolf Hitler used to sleep at 4 a.m., and because of being late, he used to do all his important meetings while taking a bath. Albert Einstein, the world's smartest scientist, slept only four hours, Charles Darwin and Winston Churchill were also night owls. Night owls have high IQ. Studies have shown that people who stay up late at night and sleep for a few hours in the morning are smarter, wiser and richer than normal people.

These are some of the important reasons for successful night

1.THEY ARE LESS TIRED. One study aimed to find out when both early sleepers and late sleepers performed their strongest. He tested early risers and late night wakers throughout the day,and found that those who woke up late at night reached the peak of their power at 9 p.m. This happened because their central nervous system and spinal cord

Stimulation and at the same time extremes. The same power gives them an enormous amount of energy in the evening for creative endeavors, imagination and inventions.

On the other hand, they never found that early risers get such power because their central nervous system and spinal cord never reach their peak power at the same time. This is the reason that those who stay awake till late at night are less tired and are able to concentrate fully on their work.

2. THEY ARE MORE INTELLIGENT. One study showed that both night owls and early risers need eight hours of quality sleep. Just as ordinary people take advantage of sixteen hours, in the same way these two groups also benefit. But the abilities and experience of night owls are of a high order. A study has proved that night owls have high IQ. Night owls are thought to be more intelligent than people with normal sleep cycles.

3.THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL IN CREATIVE TASK. Night owls are more interested in creative works and being successful. Evening time is a good time for creative works. Early risers get tired due to which they start falling asleep at 9 p.m. While night owls are at their peak power at 9 p.m. They keep working hard to make their strong intentions and dreams come true.

4.NIGHT OWLS ARE SMARTER AND RICHER Than EARLY RISERS. Previous studies have proved that night owls are smarter and richer than early risers. Findings of a recent test suggest that they are quicker and more alert when working throughout the day.

In one study both groups were asked to maintain their normal sleep cycle. Early risers fell asleep about four hours earlier.

These two groups were then given some activities in which the researchers track their success. But early risers showed less interest in attention and brain tasks.

Whereas night owls make maximum use of their brains capabilities.

In this way we can say that early riser birds can get more worms, but night owls get a whole field of insects. When the whole world is sleeping, these night birds carry out their noble intentions. The night's peace prevents our mind from wandering and helps us to concentrate fully on our work.

EARLY TO BED AND EARLY TO RISE

MAKES A MAN HEALTHY, WEALTHY AND WISE.

This proverb is very old and true, but it does not mean that the night owls are left empty handed (empty beaked), they sleep after getting what they want and early risers move towards their goal after waking up.
