Sleep patterns can affect your personality and level of success

ARE you an owl or a lark? Most of us fall into one or the other category and think little of the implications but the time you snuggle down under your duvet say scientists could have a huge effect on your life.

New research has revealed that our sleep patterns may not just determine what time we go to bed — they may also influence our personality and our levels of success.

Studies carried out in Germany show a more profound difference between night owls and early risers due to their preferred bedtime — it seems the brains of those who stay up late into the night are somewhat different to those tucked up by 10pm.
