There was an article posted to HN some time ago that claimed that being a Night Owl or Morning Lark isn't an intrinsic disposition so much as a lifestyle choice. Does this mean I can choose to stay up later and I'll get more intelligent?

If you're more intelligent, you'll choose to stay up later :)

Anecdotal evidence: I swap between the two, it just takes a creative sleep pattern, I had a strange schedule last year due to the layout of my courses, so some days I'd stay up till 4 sleep till 2, and other's I'd sleep at 11 and wake at 7:30. I guess my IQ last year was sinusoidal.
