A 2012 study on young adults reports that morning-type individuals, or “larks,” report higher levels of positive affect compared with evening-type individuals, or “owls”.
3. You’ll become more persistent and cooperative.
According to a study showing the relationship between morningness–eveningness and temperament and character dimensions in 347 adolescents, a 2011 study discovered that morning people are more determined, persistent, agreeable and conscientious than evening people.

The study found morning light accounted for about 20 per cent of a person’s body mass index (BMI). “The later the hour of moderately bright light exposure, the higher a person’s BMI.”
