Jake We’re genetically predisposed to be either morning people or night people. I base this not on science but on firsthand observation of my sons conducted over the past several thousand days. My older son, Luke, is a morning person who wakes up singing. At breakfast, he can speak at a rate of approximately 2,600 words per minute, and that’s without any coffee. My son Flynn, in contrast, is a night person. The morning makes him confused and angry, and if I try to talk to him before 7 a.m., he will punch me in the crotch.
