Study Shows People Who Struggle To Get Out Of Bed ARE SMARTER

Based on a study called “Why Night Owls Are More Intelligent,” by authors Satoshi Kanazawa and Kaja Perina, we’re told that ignoring our alarm clocks, hitting snooze, and sleeping for longer makes us more intelligent. The reason? Alarm clocks are a new innovation in comparison to human evolution, and non-conforming snoozers are just, well, smarter. It’s a thing. It just is.

No seriously, acting on what your body needs, in this case more sleep, means that you’re seen as more independent, creative, ambitious, and more likely to tackle problems head on than someone who gets up when their clock tells them to.

Another study was conducted by the University of Southampton, which looked at the socioeconomic situations of 1,229 people in relation with their sleep cycles and habits. Those who went to bed after 11 p.m. and got up after 8 a.m. earned more money and enjoyed a happier lifestyle.

BUT HOLD ON, before you decide to stay in bed all day, you should know that too much sleep is bad!! Nine hours is normally the cutoff. Go any longer and you officially lose your smarts. Sorry.
