And so those who wake up naturally early in the morning between, you know, 6 and 6.30 a.m.

are considered the early birds or larks.

That represents about 15 to 20 percent of the population.

And then a small subset of those early birds are those who do naturally wake up at 5 a.m.,

The other 15% to 20% are night owls, people who like to sleep in.

But the largest percentage comprise 55% to 65% of the population.

Some sleep experts call them bears.

and 2 p.m.

So for example, if you do want to be on the 5 a.m.
