CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTIOIN
Rhythmicity is part of our life. In the decade there has been increasing interest in research focusing on the relationship between the human circadian timing system and behavioral patterns in health and illness. Commonly, people showing these patterns are named as “owl” (evening chronotype) or “lark” (morning chronotype), but many people neither belong strongly to morning nor evening type. The relationship between body’s timing system and thousands of other psyhchobiological rhythmic functions occurring everyday and within every human being is referred to as chronobiology. Being a morning person or a night owl doesn’t just determine when we start or end our workday, but our internal clock may help define our psychology as well. A Spanish researcher found that our preference for engaging in activities earlier or later in the day shapes both our perceptions and our interactions. The author gave personality tests to 360 university students and the results offer new evidence that morning and evening types think differently. Early risers prefer to gather knowledge from concrete information. They reach conclusions through logic and analysis. Night owls are more imaginative and open to unconventional ideas, preferring the unknown and favoring intuitive leaps on their way to reaching conclusions. Social behavior diverges as well, morning people are more likely to be self-controlled and exhibit “upstanding” conduct, they respect authority, are more formal, and take greater pains
