There’s one thing that each of us knows for sure: whether or not we are a morning person. It’s also probably safe to say that it’s tricky to become a morning person if we’re not one already. If this describes you, don’t feel left behind; there is evidence that many true morning people may not be using their mornings to their advantage. A reexamination of the morning person’s traits and priorities seems to be in order, as does the potential for one to become a morning person. Thanks to the website LittleGreenDot.com, we have some direction in this matter.

You see, I AM a morning person. Or, at least I’ve always considered myself to be. Unless there are dire circumstances, I find no challenge in hopping out of bed before the sky becomes illuminated. However, it’s what I have chosen to do with those first waking moments, and the hour that follows, that serves to rank me as a mere early riser rather than an authentic morning person.
