Why people are split
Early birds love the quiet hours before anyone else is up and get their best work done by lunch. Night owls feel sharpest after dark and think the world is built around a schedule that isn't theirs.
How people voted
The live split shows on the card as soon as you vote. The vote count appears here once 50 people have voted.
A fun poll that anyone can vote in, once per device. It's not a scientific survey.
FAQ
Can a night owl become a morning person?
Somewhat. Your chronotype is partly genetic, but steady wake times and morning light can shift it a little.
Is being a night owl genetic?
Partly. Studies have found hundreds of genetic variants linked to sleep timing.
