Being an Early Bird Is Good for Your Health. Here’s How to Switch
Are you a night owl or an early bird? We generally fall in one group of the other, based on the sleep habits influenced by factors like our mattressesour age and our genetics. Being a night owl isn’t bad, but research has found that early birds actually have more health benefits. Our genetics typically put us in one category or another, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have control. Here’s why you should switch to being an early bird and how to do it.

Better eating habits
Breakfast is often regarded as “the most important meal of the day,” but night owls often skip it because they wake up after it’s served. Early birds don’t skip breakfast and therefore benefit from the healthy eating habits it offers.

Night owls tend to skip breakfast altogether or opt for later brunch, instead. Research shows that eating breakfast replenishes your body’s glucose supply, lowers diabetes risk and reduced brain fog.
Better physical health
Early birds also have the added benefit of having time for workouts in the morning, which protects them from last-minute plans and stressful days at work. There’s nothing wrong with working out at night; it’s just easy for things to get in the way. If you block out time in the morning, you’re more likely to be able to stick to a regular exercise routine.
