Some of us are early to rise and others are late to bed, but is one really better than the other?

Even if you don’t naturally wake up early, there’s no denying how pleasant it is to be out in the brisk morning air while everyone is still asleep.

But while the two aren’t mutually exclusive, they’re pretty close — and most of us can only manage one of them.
