The phrase, "The early bird catches the worm" may be true. It means people who wake up early get more done than people who don't. Another saying is from Founding Father of the USA Benjamin Franklin. He said: "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." Scientists have found that people who go to bed before 11pm may do better in life than people who sleep around 2:30am. The researchers are from Birmingham's Centre for Human Brain Health in the U.K. Their research showed that people who slept and rose early (early birds) had an advantage over people who slept and woke up late (night owls). There were differences in the brain function of early birds and night owls.
The scientists tested 38 people in their research. The people answered questionnaires about their sleeping pattern and when they felt tired during the day. They were then put into an early bird or night owl group based on their answers. All of the people had MRI scans on their brain and did different tests throughout the day. The early birds said they felt less sleepy and were able to do the tests quicker than the night owls. The researchers said there were big differences between the two groups. The researchers said: "Night owls during school have to get up earlier, then they go into work and they have to get up earlier, so they're constantly having to fight against their preferences and natural rhythms."

“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”这句话可能是正确的。这意味着早起的人比不早起的人做得更多。

另一句话是美国开国元勋本杰明·富兰克林。他说：“早睡早起使一个男人健康，富有和明智。” 科学家发现，晚上11点之前上床睡觉的人可能比凌晨2:30左右睡觉的人生活得更好。

研究人员来自英国伯明翰人类大脑健康中心。他们的研究表明，早睡和早起的人（早起的鸟儿）比晚睡和醒来的人（夜猫子）有优势。早起的鸟类和夜猫子的脑功能存在差异。
The scientists tested 38 people in their research. The people answered questionnaires about their sleeping pattern and when they felt tired during the day.
科学家在研究中测试了38个人。人们回答了有关他们的睡眠方式以及白天感到疲倦的问卷。
They were then put into an early bird or night owl group based on their answers. All of the people had MRI scans on their brain and did different tests throughout the day.
然后根据他们的回答将他们放到早鸟或夜猫子组中。所有的人全天都要进行MRI扫描，并做不同的检查。
The early birds said they felt less sleepy and were able to do the tests quicker than the night owls. The researchers said there were big differences between the two groups.
早起的小鸟说，他们比夜猫子更不困了，能够更快地进行测试。研究人员说，两组之间有很大差异。
The researchers said: "Night owls during school have to get up earlier, then they go into work and they have to get up earlier, so they're constantly having to fight against their preferences and natural rhythms."
研究人员说：“猫头鹰在学校时必须早起，然后上班，而且必须早起，所以他们经常不得不与自己的喜好和自然节奏作斗争。”
