Early Birds > Night Owls

Do you rise with the sun or keep pressing the snooze button?

Turns out early risers have it all over night owls!

A new Sleepopolis survey found that early birds tend to make more money than night owls (about 10% more) and have better sex lives…plus they’re also 10% more likely to say they’re happy with their life.

The average early bird gets seven hours of sleep, has sex three times a week, is more likely to be married, more likely to work in an office, more likely to use Facebook, more organized, more likely to have a gym membership and more likely to believe in love at first sight.

Night owls get six hours of sleep, have sex twice a week, are less likely to work in an office, more likely to use Instagram, more likely to say they’re sarcastic and a “perfectionist”, more likely to sleep with their pets in the bed and more likely to believe in ghosts!

Which one are you?
