The studies I linked originally said that the late risers were more
likely to be creative types, versus linear, logical types for early
rising. Is it possibly that this is the myers-briggs N/S dimension,
S=>early, N=>late?

(FWIW, my family are all night owls, all Ns (me: ENTP, my wife: INFP,
my daughter: INTP, my son: ENTJ). Whereas Granny, who I think is ESTJ,
is an early riser.
