I wanted to play you a clip from an interview we did
with a very famous scientist
His name is Seymour Benzer
who made a very apt comment
about larks and night owls.
One reason I was interested in this project
why I took it up was
my own curioisty about
people's behaviour with respect to time.
Because I"m the night person
my wife was a morning person.
There is nothing we could do about it.
She was a lark and I was an owl,
and we'd see each other in between.
But...
And observing other people,
I could see that they often fell into one category or the other.
Most people synchronize by having to show up for work at a particular time
but if you remove that synchronization
they drift.
