Science says it: starting to work after ten hours makes you more successful

Working nine to five: completely outdated. Old-fashioned. Passé. Ten o'clock is the new nine o'clock.

Not a fan of early rising? Can you curse that &$^(@&!# alarm clock every morning? Good news, because starting work later would have a ton of benefits.

Sleep deprivation
Psychologists have researched this and yes: starting with that laptop after ten in the morning would be better for you. We are biologically not made to start working so early. So it's not your fault if you can only function after five coffees.

Okay, working after ten o'clock. You would actually become more productive and ultimately better at your job. And those who are good at what they do also earn more money. According to the Truth Theory, Kelley's research suggests that starting work earlier than ten o'clock can only lead to sleep deprivation. And that can't be solved by simply going to bed a bit earlier. It's really about that deep sleep you only get in the morning. Dr. Kelley tested his theory and had a number of schools start later for a period of time. No class started at nine o'clock anymore. So, longer sleep. The result? The students achieved higher grades, were more often present (because who skipped that first hour earlier anyway?) and were generally less grumpy. And adults seem to respond the same way. We understand.

Shorter workweek
Other researchers go even further. They believe you shouldn't work longer than five hours want to toil in a day. During those hours, you are productively and actively engaged; the other hours are merely ‘filling time’: you are chatting, scrolling on your phone, sending your friends silly memes via Insta. Nonsense, then. Employers are better off if you work shorter: they have to pay less and you get just as much work done, in the end. And many Scandinavians believe you could also work better four days instead of five. In those countries, they have been experimenting for much longer with people working full throttle for four days and getting one day off paid for themselves. Many studies show that people then actually work more productively, are more successful, earn more money, and are more fun colleagues.
