The psychology of people who think best at night

Night owl or just lazy? At 11:47 p.m. you finish in twenty minutes what you were stuck on for two hours in the afternoon – and at seven a.m. you're a zombie. Five reasons: your internal clock (chronotype), your age, the quiet of the night, the synchrony effect and too little daylight. With research by Till Roenneberg (social jet lag), Lynn Hasher (synchrony effect) and Kenneth Wright's camping experiment (2013) – plus five tips for living better as an owl. Important: this video is not a diagnosis and doesn't replace professional advice. If you regularly can't fall asleep before three a.m. and it affects your life, talk to your doctor or a sleep clinic.
