Why the Wise Are Early Riscrs.

1t is a curious fact in psychology
that nobody can stay at the same
mental and physical level for p
hours together In the morning you
are more matter OF fact, for instance,
than later in the day. 1t is in the
morning that the best brainwork is
done too-brainwork of the sort that
requires industry and clear thinking
And it is about II in the morning
that your body reaches the highest
point OF energy. In other works you
are stronger, though almost impercep-
tibly. at II in the morning than at 5
in the afternoon. You reach that
highest point twice in the day. for
about . in the afternoon the muscular
energy has risen again. But from 5
onward it declines steadily all through
the evening and on till between 2 ana
