This might be called laziness, but DrKleitman has a new explanationHe has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycleDuring the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are hotThats true The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peakFor some people the peak comes during the morningFor others it comes in the afternoon or eveningNo one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: Get up, John! Youll be late for work again!
