“Strangely, younger people seem to suffer more in this situation than older people, not because they get less sleep but because they don't deal with sleep loss as well.”

“First, larks don't just like to get up early; they also get tired much earlier in the day than owls, and they can't handle sleep deprivation -- it disrupts their concentration much more than it would for a owl. On the other hand, although owls hate to get up early, and often can't really function in the morning, they handle sleep deprivation very well and can get on with things just fine even when they are deprived (up to a limit, of course).”

“If you go to bed too early and get up too late you probably won't sleep especially well. This could show up as either taking a long time to drop off to sleep or frequent arousals, both of which would be classified as insomnia. Paradoxically, reducing the time spent in bed can increase the quality of sleep in such cases and may therefore help reduce daytime tiredness.”
