Damp mouth jamming is where it's at.

What about really young children? They are definitely larks! We seem to go from being larks to being owls and then the elderly go back to being larks. Maybe this is only true for one generation but mostly young children are the ones that wake up their parents nowadays.

Personally I'm an owl BUT with that said I get depressed every winter (S.A.D) due to low light levels and HAVE to wake up early. Other health risks seem to also be associated with not getting enough sunlight so I suppose the traditional past has left its mark.

Interesting post! Enjoyed reading it!
