If this turns out to be true, how will it affect swimmers who are known for their early morning workouts? Could it end up being counter-productive?
I thought I read somewhere that waking up naturally (without an alarm clock) is more heathy than the suddenness of the alarm.
I'm a 6am workout swimmer, I get up at 4:50. Some mornings, especially in summer, I will actually wake up just a few minutes before the alarm. And sleeping until 7am does seem like sleeping in, although I usually get up around 6 on weekends for a run.
