One more Proverb down?

!
Early to bed and early to rise, makes one healthy, wealthy, and wise. This in fact is a popular one of the ‘truths’ we constantly celebrate in our life. Should it be so? I thought of probing further.
In an article in a recent issue of ‘Science’,  good sleep followed by late wake up is shown to be associated with better academic performance. This, by a group of researchers whose study involved secondary school students from many schools in USA, which mentions that, ‘given that the adolescents have a preference to stay active until late evenings, waking up late in the mornings benefited the physical and mental health of students.
My favorite contention, that all such ‘truths’ are false, is proven right again. Not only that, exact opposite of each such ‘truth’ could turn out to be the actual case. Take again a look at the current example. Late, carefree mornings actually lead to better productivity.
