Is this true? I'm in trouble then. I absolutely hate everything about mornings. My ideal schedule is going to bed about 2:00 AM and waking up naturally between 10:00 and 11:00 AM.
Surely there's some successful start-up founders who do this?
Do they know many cleaners; road sweepers; 'binmen' (garbage truck workers)? etc.
These people are just people - maybe some of them are doing interesting things with their life but I doubt it's just because they're waking early.
The comment feels a bit like cargo-cultism.
I'm fighting my own biases here, because I feel much better if I wake early and I feel like my early mornings are much more productive.
To observe that early risers are consistently successful, it doesn't mean that late night workers aren't successful. I've just found anecdotally that if you were to take a sample of early risers vs late night workers, the first group seems to have a higher percentage of successful people.
