![]() ![]() Is the mouse toying with Owl? Who knows?Ī funny tale about stress and an ever upping ante, with a comforting end.Ī hare and a ground squirrel banter about the differences between related animals that are often confused for one another. Sometimes the mouse is behind Owl or just out of his sightline other times, the mouse is on a solid, orange-colored page across the spread from Owl, which removes him from Owl’s scene in a rather postmodern manner. In simple illustrations with black outlines, textured coloring, and foreshortened perspective, Pizzoli plays mischievously with mouse placement. Not until he hunkers down in bed under the night sky (his bed is now outdoors, because the house’s roof and walls are gone), frantically clutching his pillow, does he see what readers have seen all along: a small, gray mouse. As Owl’s actions ratchet up-he destroys the roof and smashes the walls, all in search of the squeak-so does his anxiety. Under the floor? He pulls up his floorboards. Is it in the cupboard? He empties the shelves. ![]() Time after time, he pops out of bed seeking the squeaker. Bidding himself goodnight, he climbs into bed-and hears the noise again. Owl’s never heard that sound before, so he fastens his pink bathrobe and answers the front door. “Squeek!” says something underneath the bed. Owl leans back against his white pillow and headboard. Different people have different habits, and in the end, it all comes down to the choices one makes according to their own comfort.Something is preventing Owl from falling asleep. But, in the end, what really matters is getting the work done. Night owls and early birds are only means of denoting at what time people prefer to do their chores, at what time they can be more productive. However, no matter what choice you make, it is important to be focused on what you do. This is the reason why young people are considered to be night owls.ĭepending on what kind of person you are, the choice of being a night owl or an early bird is up to you. However, if working with the ethics of the corporate world is not a problem for you, being a night owl can be more suitable for your lifestyle. It is clear that being an early bird can be more beneficial than being a night owl. Sometimes, we can do work more productively at night rather than during the day. Personally, I think being a night owl is better than being an early bird. However, all the points discussed are based on different studies, and might not be strictly applicable in real-life scenarios. This is a significant advantage early birds have over night owls. Another benefit that early birds enjoy is that they do most of the work during the hours that fit the world of commerce, allowing success to be in their favour. Early Birds also tend to be Proactive Night Owls, on the other hand, are smarter. It is also said that ‘Early Birds Wake Up With Smiles, while Night Owls with Frowns’. night owls, on the other hand, are more likely to indulge in “extravagance, impulsiveness, and novelty-seeking”. However, it has been observed that even night owls can be as productive and competitive as early birds.Īccording to Satoshi Kanazawa and his study, “More intelligent children are more likely to grow to be nocturnal adults who go to bed late and wake up late on both weekdays and weekends.” This shows that even Night Owls can be productive, a conclusion that is opposite to that of contemporary beliefs.Īccording to another study conducted by the University of Barcelona, Spain, morning people tend to be more persistent and less likely to experience “fatigue, frustration, and difficulties”. There have been numerous scientific studies to date about the same. However, in recent times, it has been observed that more people today tend to be night owls than ever before. Hence the proverb ‘Early Bird gets the worm’. Historically, society has accepted that early birds are more productive and succeed well in life’, while night owls are quite the opposite. ![]() Now, the question is, why is there a comparison between the two? ‘Early Birds’ are the ones who get up early and sleep early, while ‘Night Owls’ are the ones who stay up late and get up late. To understand the difference between them we need to understand what they stand for. But ever wondered why there is no proverb about Night Owls? We’re all familiar with the proverb ‘ Early Bird gets the worm ’. ![]()
