Are you allergic to mornings ?
Are you somebody who can't wake up in the morning? Do you need
two cups of coffee before you can start a new day? Do you feel awful
when you first wake up? Scientists say it's all because of our genes.
How did they find this out? Researchers from the University of Surrey
interviewed 500 people. They asked them questions about their lifestyle,
for example what time of day they preferred to do exercise and how difficult
they found it to wake up in the morning. Scientists then compared their
answers to the people's DNA.
They discovered that we all have a 'clock' gene, also called a Period 3
gene. This gene can be long or short. People who have the long gene
are usually people who are very good in the morning, but who get
tired quite early at night. People who have the short gene are usually
people who are more active at night but who have problems waking
up early in the morning. How does it help us to know if we should try to
change our working. how does it help us to know if we have the
long or short gene? Scientist say that, if possible, we should try to
change our working hours to fit our 'body clock'. If you are a
'morning person' then you could start work early and finish early.
But if you are bad in the mornings, then it might be better to start
work in the afternoon and work untill late at night. So maybe, instead
of nine to five it should be seven to three or twelve to eight.
