Does Colorado Prefer Nightlife or Waking Up Early?

Everyone has a favorite time of day and a preference for staying up late or waking up early. Some enjoy seeing the sunrise or getting up early before many businesses open and before others wake up, and are most productive in the morning. Others like to sleep in, do their best work at night, and function best as the sun goes down, staying up later than others. Sometimes it depends on your job, what you prefer, and other times it depends on what your body and mind best adjust to. When it comes to Colorado, is the state more full of early birds or night owls?

Early Birds vs Night Owls By State

Waking up is beneficial, as it allows you to get many things done before others are awake and you get distracted by other tasks throughout the day. Staying up late can be nice; as others are sleeping, you can get things done that you didn't have time to do during the day. According to a recent study by coventrydirect.com, the state with the most early birds is Missouri, with Arizona having the second most, and Washington rounding out the top three. The state with the most night owls is surprisingly Montana, with Nebraska having the second most, and New York rounding out the top three. When it comes to Colorado, is the Centennial State home to mostly early birds or night owls?
