Night Owl

Do you come alive after dark?As a culture, we revere early risers. But what if those of us who struggle in the morning aren't lazy - what if we are just made differently? In Night Owl, Haley Shapley delves into the science and culture of people who are biologically compelled to wake and sleep later. Drawing on the latest research, expert interviews and historical wisdom, she reveals how having a late sleeper chronotype can supercharge our creativity and even influence personality - at the cost of constantly fighting our own biology. From Minnesota to Taipei, her search for fellow night owls is a riveting investigation into the hidden power of those who stay up late in a world scheduled for the bright and early.
