Researchers from the University of Granada have shown that individual chronotype—that is, whether you are a “morning-type” or an “evening-type”, depending on the time of day when your physiological functions are more active—markedly influences driving performance. In fact, evening-types are much worse drivers—they pay less attention—at their “non-optimal” time of day (early in the morning) by comparison with their optimal time (during the evening). However, in this experiment morning-types were more stable drivers than evening-types and drove relatively well both in the morning and the evening.
