Your Skin Cells Can Clue Others Into Your Sleeping Habits
Research has found that by culturing skin cells in a laboratory and injecting them with a bioluminescence gene found in fireflies. They can determine if the person is a night owl or an early bird!
It turns out that our genetic make-up is probably responsible for our sleeping habits, what is really amazing scientists as that they can make this determination by testing our skin cells.
I can't help but wonder if employers will find a use for this kind of testing. If you have a job that needs a person who is going to be bright and chipper in the morning, they can require a skin test...hmmm are we making the way for 'skin discrimination'?
And that is what I am thinking about today, what's on your mind!?
I used to be a night owl, staying up until 4AM with ease. I made the transfer to having to rise at 6AM (instead of about 11-12) in 2 days. It's just a matter of training oneself.
I don't buy into owl's/lark's any more.

No, he's not cute...but I think my dog might like him. LOL
My boss keeps telling me she's going to turn me into a morning person...no she's not.
When Bry-onicle out grew his baby blanket (he had one with Winnie the Pooh my aunt bought him but he literally took it everywhere like Linus and eventually you couldn't see pooh anymore - I turned him into a teddy bear. Came out pretty good for someone that had no clue what they were doing.
