Early risers sleepier in evenings

A Belgium study involving sleep and circadian rhythm found the brain is continually trying to balance the circadian signal (when you want to naturally sleep and be awake) and homeostatic pressure (the counting of the number of hours during sleep and while awake). This battle determines if you are more attentive during the afternoons and evenings.

According to new U.S. research, humans reach their peak of mental abilities at the age of 22 years, and begin to age with respect to their brain’s ability to think and reason in their twenties. The research is not without its critics, but it does make a person think--or, at least, try to think on a subpar level if you're over 27 years of age.

For the first time, a scientific study, which was performed in the United States, has identified that the brains of low-income children work, on average, less efficiently than the brains of high-income children when performing problem-solving tasks. The good news is that the difference can be corrected.
