I don't know where the excess energy came from, but my mother insists that it's the unfortunate consequence of eating candy bars and sugar cereals. I'm Angela Duckworth. I'm Stephen Dubner. And you're listening to No Stupid Questions. Today on the show, does society favor early birds over night owls?
Well, you're taking a bird metaphor that probably has nothing to do with actual people? Steven, we have an email from a listener named Abby and I'd like to read it to you. Are you awake enough to hear it? Because it's morning.
It is morning. We don't always record in the mornings, we should say. We don't, but As an early riser, which I know you to be, I kind of knew you'd be awake for it. You wake up at some ridiculously early single-digit number, yes?
