Evolutionary biology explains 'morning people' as ancient sentinels

Chronotype, or an individual's natural tendency towards early or late sleep, is rooted in evolutionary survival strategies. A 2017 study of the Hadza people revealed that group members were rarely all asleep simultaneously, suggesting a 'sentinel hypothesis' where staggered sleep schedules protected against predators and threats. This diversity in sleep timing, with 'morning people' acting as sentinels, has been preserved through human evolution and even inherited from archaic humans like Neanderthals and Denisovans, as indicated by genomic studies.

    Why Are Some People Morning People? An Evolutionary Biologist Explains

    The answer has less to do with morning people’s discipline than with deep evolutionary history, and a molecular clock ticking in nearly every cell of your body.
