Why Stay in Bed? 早起的虫儿被鸟吃？
Some people are night owls 1; some are early birds. You probably know which one you are, but did you know that there may be a biological reason why some people are out of bed at dawn while others prefer to burn the midnight oil?
One German scientist believes that people’s internal body clocks are set by their genes 2, and cannot be changed. That means some people will reach their mental and physical peak later in the day than others. If they are forced to work against their natural inner clock, they are unlikely to be able to do their best. This could even lead to health problems for them.
The scientist says society should accept the fact that these two fundamentally different types of humans exist. He thinks that people who need to stay in bed longer in the morning should not be accused of laziness because of their genetic 3 disposition 4.

这名科学家表示社会各界应该接受这两种截然不同的人同时存在的事实。他认为早上赖床的人不应该因遗传天性而被指控为懒惰
