Yes, it's the Ig Nobel awards!... people who habitually stay up late are, on average, more self-admiring, more manipulative, and more psychopathic than people who habitually arise early in the morning.

Although there is always the possibility that - if you will allow me such an obvious point - the real intention is to sublimate this, transcend that, and come to terms with the fundamental dichotomies of the other.(Link for the uninitiated. There's also this.)
