If you’re a die-hard morning person, don’t start packing your bags for Mars just yet. A recent study suggests that people who prefer to sleep in and stay up late may be better suited for Mars.
Our bodies have internal clocks that tell us how long a day is, and we’re all set to somewhere just around 24 hours. But there’s evidence that early risers’ internal body clocks that run a little faster than average, while night-owls’ clocks run a little slower. And since a day on Mars is about 37 minutes longer than 24 hours, those with a slower body clock (that is, one that takes longer than 24 hours to complete a natural cycle) may find the adjustment to Mars time easier.
