Smart people sleep late
- devmonk 16y agoI believe this was a flawed conclusion. Some people stay up late and wake up with the light, lowering the amount of time that they sleep, which in turn lowers their IQ.
- mfukar 16y agoGot a source for that?
- devmonk 16y agoI'm the source. It's a personal "study" of my own behavior and IQ. My wife stays up to the same time, sleeps late, and has not shown the same decrease in IQ. But, here are a few mentions of study results on lack of sleep causing lower IQ and light keeping people awake: http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/1999/03/20/sleep990320.html http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/1999/03/20/sleep990320.html http://www.livescience.com/health/teens-sleep-morning-light-100216.html http://www.livescience.com/health/teens-sleep-morning-light-... And here are some alarm clocks that wake people up with light: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=light+alarm+clock&x=0&y=0 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dap...
- sleight42 16y agoThe linked article is, at best, fluff. However, the linked article points to another article of slightly more depth: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/westview/smart-people-sleep-late-82486792.html http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/westview/smart-peop...
- shin_lao 16y agoSince when has the IQ anything to do with intelligence?
- chrisbroadfoot 16y agoEver since that was the definition of the _I_ntelligence _Q_uotient.
- shin_lao 16y agoI was more referring to the fact that the IQ test only measures your ability to pass the IQ test.

- xentronium 16y agoRussian internets are extremely biased, but we've got a meme here, "British Scientists" (or "British Researchers"). They are the people responsible for all the greatest discoveries of mankind, such as: * Stool Scale [1] * Ideal Sandwich [2] * Connection between football team results and their uniform color [3] * Toads predicting earthquakes [4] I kinda feel that's another worthless statistical observation with no real scientific value.

- agscala 16y agoI am really loving these articles that justify my laziness on the premise of being smart
- phlux 16y agoThat must be why all those people are wandering around the TenderNob at 3AM on Tuesday nights! Them's smart!
