Intelligent People All Have One Thing In Common: They Stay Up Later Than You


According to ”Psychology Today,” intelligent people are more likely to be nocturnal than people with lower IQ scores. In a study run on young Americans, results showed that intelligent individuals went to bed later on weeknights and weekends than their less intelligent counterparts.

In ”Study Magazine,” Satoshi Kanazawa, a psychologist at the London School Of Economics And Political Science, reported that IQ average and sleeping patterns are most definitely related, proving that those who play under the moon are, indeed, more intelligent human beings.

His analysis goes back to ancient times, asserting the idea that even in primitive years, people have been known to rise and fall with the sun.

Average brains were conditioned to follow this sleep pattern, while the more inquisitive, intellectual ones want to defy that pattern and create their own.

It’s an unconscious defiance that comes from refusal to acquiesce to the idea of mass appeal.

These findings are reported by “Study Magazine” as such:

Bedtimes and wake-up times for Americans in their 20s by IQ.

Very Dull (IQ < 75)
Weekday: 11:41 pm -7:20 am
Weekend: 12:35 am -10:09 pm

Normal (90 < IQ < 110)
Weekday: 12:10 am -7:32 am
Weekend: 1:13 am -10:14 am

Very Bright (IQ > 125)
Weekday: 12:29 am -7:52 am
Weekend: 1:44 am -11:07 am

Those with IQs less than 75 went to bed by 11:30 pm on weeknights in early adulthood, whereas those with IQs over 125 went to bed around after 12:30 am. This is no coincidence.

The data supports the notion that all night owls feel: the only real time for living is after everyone’s gone to bed.

Correlation does not equal causation, though I approve and agree.

I wake up about 2:30pm. My shifts start at 5 or 6pm. I leave work at 4 or 5am, later during the holiday crush. I go to bed about 6, or whenever I hear the neighbors upstairs wake their hell-raised infants. I know I'm not the only 3rd-shift GRB guy. I am not sure what 'late' means to people any more.

Second shift, but my sleep habits mirror yours. I rarely go to sleep before 4 am.

Circumstances placed me in a job that has me working from 0500-1330.

When I waited tables and tended bar, I worked almost the opposite.

Guess I was smarter then.

I have no idea what my IQ is. The principal at my grade school didn't see much sense in them tests.

It's 4:45 am, and I have been at work for 11 hours.

That probably makes me stupid.

I stayed up really late. I should be able to get like 6 hours before work though. I'm a [expletive] genius.
