Is it true that going to bed late is a high IQ? Why do people who sleep later have higher IQs?

Scientists have found that people who go to bed late and wake up late are smarter and have better memory than those who go to bed early and wake up early, which means that people who are nocturnal are smarter than those who are active during the day.

Truth: Some people wake up early and go to bed early, just like larks, and they are as industrious as larks; There are also people who wake up late and go to bed late, as weird as owls. Psychologists have long noticed that different people have different circadian rhythms, and smart people are more attuned to nightlife:

In 2009, Kim applied his intelligence hypothesis to circadian rhythms, providing a preliminary explanation for why smart people are better suited to nightlife.

In ancient environments, humans were more likely to be active during the day, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. In contrast, night can be said to be an evolutionarily novel environment. Kanazawa believes that since night is an evolutionarily new environment, intelligent people are better at moving in this environment.

IQ Profile:

Intelligence quotient, also known as intelligence quotient, is an index of personal intelligence test scores compared with the scores of subjects of the same age, and is a measure of individual intelligence.

It may also be because brain cells are active, so there is less sleep.

What kind of J8 theory is this?

I've always thought that people who sleep a lot, usually have a low IQ, turns out to be the truth.

Based on the results of this research, how much will your IQ reach?

The reason why night owls are smarter than the average person has finally been found. Our slowly evolving brains are unfamiliar with the new gadgets in the world — cars, televisions, hot dogs, ......The world has produced so many new things, and smart people are more adaptable.

Satos Kanazawa, a psychologist at the London School of Economics and Political Science in the United Kingdom, believes that through evolutionary development, we have specialized intelligence to adapt to traditional tasks such as discerning direction and social interaction, while ordinary intelligence has to adapt to new situations. His research data shows that the higher people's IQ, the stronger they are in some aspects that are useless to our ancestors, and the ability to stay up late is one of them.

Studies have found that people who are active at night are smarter than those who are active during the day. Kanazava gives a theoretical explanation: the application of electricity makes it possible to live a nocturnal lifestyle, whereas 10,000 years ago there was no electricity, so we now have to rely on ordinary intelligence to overcome the instinct to go to bed early, so that people who sleep late have better intelligence.

He surveyed Americans in their 20s about sleeping and waking up the next day, and compared them to IQ in the table below.

Of course, IQ Gao does not have to be complacent, there are also emotional intelligence, sex quotient, financial quotient ......

Quiet night thinking is good for intellectual development!

No, no wonder my IQ isn't high.

Hehe, I think so much that I can't sleep.

Thinking too much, I can't sleep, I can only stay up late...

This has been proven by a lot of facts and sounds a bit incredible, but. People with higher IQ sleep later.

The higher the IQ, the later you will sleep. The later you sleep. The sooner you die.

People who are nocturnal are smarter. The researchers explain that the application of electricity makes a nocturnal lifestyle possible, whereas 10,000 years ago there was no electricity, and we must rely on ordinary intelligence to overcome the instinct to go to bed early, so people who sleep late have better intelligence.

This is all self-righteousness. Think you can control nature, conquer nature, and change the nature of nature! It's like we think we're transforming the earth, and we're going to bring disaster to us!

We think that we use strong medicine to interfere with the body system, and eventually cause more serious diseases, saying that most patients do not die because of disease, but because of medicine. I'm not saying that we shouldn't take action at all, we should act, but we should go with the flow, and nature will help us; If you go against the grain, you will definitely die, and staying up late is one of them. Don't comfort yourself, most people don't see the essence of that article at all!

People I know who have a high IQ don't go to bed early. However, sleeping late does not mean that the IQ is high.

The question of who is smarter between the owl and the lark dates back to the fall of 1999. Richard Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Sydney in Australia, worked with Patrick of the U.S. Air Force Research Institute to recruit 400 recruits who had just trained for six weeks. Two researchers measured the recruits' circadian scores, memory, and agility and found that the earlier they woke up and the earlier they went to bed, the weaker their memory and agility became.

As a result, Roberts and Kirona argue that people who wake up late and go to bed late are smarter. However, due to the particularity of the sample, it is unclear whether its conclusions can be supported by sufficient follow-up studies.

Eight years later, in 2007, researchers in Italy found that owls scored higher than larks in all dimensions of creative thinking (fluency, flexibility, ingenuity, and jumpiness), especially in terms of originality. Study participants ranged in age from 19 to 76 years, with a considerable age span.

Kim Ze-cheol, a psychologist at the London School of Economics and Political Science, pointed out that after controlling for various factors, the influence of IQ on circadian rhythm is greatly reduced or even negligible. The regression coefficient between IQ and work and rest time is less than 1%, that is, if two people have different work and rest times, IQ can only explain that the difference between them is less than 1 10000. Thus, this study shows that IQ does affect work progress on the one hand, and that the direct impact of this effect is very small.

If we think that IQ can be extrapolated from work and rest time, it is clearly a misunderstanding of Kanazawa's research findings, Roberts et al. Circadian rhythms were found to be positively correlated with IQ, but these correlations were generally low and researchers were unable to definitively answer the causal relationship between the two. Does circadian rhythm affect IQ, or does IQ differences produce different circadian rhythms?

There is no answer.

I don't think it has much to do with it at all, and the level of IQ is only due to genetic determination.

It shouldn't be, it can't be that the IQ is high and it's too late to sleep, there is no reason for this.

Not necessarily, people's IQ has nothing to do with the time they sleep, and there is no logic in it.

It's not like that, they sleep late because they work more.
