“Humans are normally diurnal creatures”, which means that we are most active during the daytime and inactive during nighttime. The inactivity often presents itself as sleeping which is crucial to our health. Although we could say that human beings sleep at night, we can’t categorize the sleeping hours into a set timeframe. Some people go to bed at a later hour than the rest. If that’s you, you may call yourself a night owl. If the opposite is true and you often wake up early in the morning, you may be a morning lark. It’s, of course, not black and white, and there is a broad spectrum between being a morning lark and a night owl—but those two are the basis of what we call chronotypes.
