First of all, I wouldn’t consider someone who sleeps from 2a.m. To 10a.m. A night owl, everything before noon is stil morning for me :) And why do those articles never mention daylight saving time or the fact that that there is a 3 hour difference between sunrise in winter and summer? I’m pretty sure DNA doesn’t care about fixed time schedules but that it rather synchronizes to natural sun and moon light. I’m convinced that a shifting sleep cicle (compared to a fixed time, but fixed to the sun or moon or some overlap) is the most natural and healthiest one, that’s also how our ancestors took shifts, D.S.P.S. just being a fancy new name, while in reality nature selects a few people being in tune with moon light, another few with sun light and some being in between, or maybe even that changes during the year, so that there are fair overlaps for everyone while watching out for those sabre tooth tigers when others sleep, those tigers don’t attack just at night ;)
