大部分时候,人们把自己分为早起的鸟和夜猫子。
从历史上,这是一个常识,早起的鸟儿更好,但事实上,早起的鸟儿不一定就比夜猫子更好。
In fact, studies have shown that their are some serious advantages to staying up late every night.
事实上,还有很多研究表明,每天熬夜还有一些好处呢。

It Might Mean You’re Smarter
这可能意味着你更聪明
在过去几年里,有大量研究表明,熬夜的人往往更聪明。
That’s not to say there aren’t plenty of brainiac early birds, just that there’s a substantial correlation between bright folks and folks who stay up late.
这不是说早起的聪明鸟儿就没多少了,只是说:聪明的人,和喜欢熬夜的人,这之间是有大量关联(交集)的。

* substantial adj. [səbˈstænʃəl] 大量的
* correlation n. [kɔrə'leʃən] 关联;关系
It’s hard to say exactly why it’s true, but people with higher IQs are more likely to get bored and seek new experiences.

You Have More Energy
你会有更多能量
It sounds incredibly counterintuitive, but people who stay up later may have more energy.
这听起来极为反直觉,但是,熬夜的人可能真的能量更多。
Surprisingly, getting more sleep doesn’t necessarily line up with having higher stamina the following day.
让人惊讶的是,睡更多的觉和第二天会有更多活力,是没有必然联系的。
这可能跟你的睡眠循环有关系。
When you go to bed later, you wake at a more energetic and complete time in your sleep cycle.
当你更晚睡觉时,你会在你睡眠循环中一个更有活力更完整的时间点醒来。
* stamina n. [stæmənə] 毅力;精力;活力;持久力
You Have More Time
你有更多的时间
We all know that it’s tough to be productive in the morning.
我们都知道,在早上要高效工作是很难的。
So if you go to bed a little later and wake up a little later, you actually feel like you have more time.
所以,你如果睡觉更晚一些,起来更晚一些,你实际上感觉你的时间更多。
而且,你如果在晚上很晚工作,你的效率往往会更高,更容易完成工作项目。

Your Sleep Schedule Is Flexible
你的工作时间灵活
Having a flexible sleep schedule can tremendously come in handy sometimes.
有一个灵活的时间表绝对迟早能拍上用场。
肯定很多时候我们都喜欢能够早点睡,但是,当你需要倒班的时候,灵活的时间表就会非常有用了。
Night owls have an easier time adjusting to everything from jet lag to crazy interruptions of having a new baby.
面对各种事,从倒时差到突然生宝宝,对于调整作息时间,夜猫子更在行。
* have an easier time doing ... 更容易做...
Staying Up Is Meditative
熬夜是一种冥想
There’s something incredibly soothing about staying up late — something all night owls can attest to.
熬夜有一种超级使人宽心的感觉 --- 所有的夜猫子都可以证明。
Maybe it’s because the rest of the world is sleeping, and everyone else is quiet. You have a singular opportunity to be alone and at peace with the world.
或许这是因为剩下的世界都在睡觉,所有人都安静了,你有这样一个机会和世界平静地独处。
*soothing adj. ['suðɪŋ] 抚慰的;使人宽心的
*attest v. [ə'tɛst] 证明,证实
It’s A Sign Of Creativity
这意味着创造力
就像熬夜和智商有联系一样,它同样喝创造力有联系。
Artists have often done their best to work late at night — Salvador Dali even used sleep deprivation for inspiration.
艺术家通常都是晚上很晚,在创作时发挥最好 --- Salvador Dali甚至为了灵感采用睡眠剥夺的办法。
It may just be how they’re wired. It may also be linked to the fact that they don’t let sleep get in the way of creative impulses!
这也许只是因为他们极度兴奋,这也可能是因为他们不想让睡眠挡在他们创作灵感中间。
* deprivation n. [dɛprɪ'veʃən] 剥夺
* wired adj. ['waɪɚd] 极度兴奋的

Waking Up Is Easier
醒来更加容易
After a late night, it can be fun to sleep in until noon, especially if it’s a weekend and you don’t have plans.
在熬夜之后,睡觉一直到中午会很爽的,尤其是在一个你没有计划的周末。
But if you happen to take a late night during the work week, don’t sweat it.Night owls have an easier time waking up as early as anyone because of that same sleep cycle flexibility.
但是,如果你恰好在工作日晚上熬夜,别焦虑。因为同样顺面灵活性的道理,要跟其他人同样早起,夜猫子会更容易。
* don't sweat it 别焦虑
You Have A More Mellow Temperament
你有一个更成熟的脾气
妈妈可能跟你说,熬夜会让你觉得早上脾气暴躁,但这可不一定。
Studies in the 1990s indicate that, contrary to popular belief, early risers have higher levels of cortisol, the hormones associated with stress.
90年代的研究表明,和大家普遍认知相反,早起的人,他们体内的cortisol(皮质醇) -- 一种和暴躁焦虑有关的激素,水平会更高。
In other words, going to bed late might just make you a calmer person!
换句话说,晚睡会让你更冷静!
