Hi. I'm just waking up--I stay up pretty late at night.
Are you a night owl? In Scandanavia they would call you "B-People"
I am! Why, what does the B stand for?
Researchers traditionally use the terms "morningness" and "eveningness" for the two chronotypes or diurnality and nocturnality in animal behavior. In several countries, especially in Scandinavia, early birds are called "A-people" and night owls are called "B-people".
Etymology.
The term is derived from the primarily nocturnal habits of the owl. Most owls sleep during the day and hunt for food at night.
Characteristics.
Usually, people who are night owls stay awake past midnight, and extreme
call hang-up.
