3．（10分）Tim Cook gets up at 3：Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi gets up at Disney CEO Bob Iger is a4：30 guy.Jack Dory sleeps in until.5：30.So does Sir Richard.…It ems successful people wake up early.Well，at least some of them do.
As Adam Grant says，"The world's most successful people aren't worried about what time others wake up.They wake and work on the schedule（日程安排）that works for them."
Science agrees.Studies show most early birds are born to be early birds，and most night owls（夜猫子）are naturally night owls.
Look at people's sleep﹣wake cycles.On average（平均），our body clocks run on a 24.2﹣hour cycle.But some people have body clocks that run longer than 24.2 hours which means，over time，they naturally fall asleep later and get up later.The people are called night owls.Oppositely，tho who body clocks run shorter than 24.2 hours are early birds.
