Morning Types Crash Faster Than Night Owls, Study Says
The early bird may get the worm, but there's something to be said about burning the midnight oil. In fact, according to a new study, staying up later and longer may increase alertness and productivity more than being an early riser.
According to the study as reported by Scientific American:
An hour and a half after waking, early birds and night owls were equally alert and showed no difference in attention-related brain activity. But after being awake for 10 and a half hours, night owls had grown more alert, performing better on a reaction-time task requiring sustained attention and showing increased activity in brain areas linked to attention.
I was not notified of drug test results either.
Oh, you fancy people with LJ access from work. You can probably go on FB too.
But we're applying American law and practice on an international case. Not that I think it's right, mind you, because it's an epic fail, IMO, but I'm wondering how the laws/practices differ.
I'll ask my brother-in-law when I see him tonight; he's from South Africa (Joburg), and his parents still live there.
I have looked at my brother's FB account. He curses! In front of my parents!

I don't know if national laws would apply. And it looks like your case of being notified was just one way to do it. I assume I was clean because I got the job, but it's not like my credit report where I got a simultaneous copy. I never got anything, period.
shrift has saved me! All hail her!
Early birds/night owls: I wish they had been more specific about *how* late and *how* early. For some people, staying up late means 10pm. For my niece, it means going to bed at 5am.

Regardless of the laws, I'm sure she had to waive her right to the privacy of these tests to compete in the first place.
It's still wrong that the results ended up in the press before she was notified, but I doubt it's illegal in any jurisdiction.
God, I'm Sneezy McAchoo today.
