When a statisticians hear, "Successful people start their day at 4 a.m.", they think:
1. Waking early makes you successful?
2. Something about success makes it hard to sleep at night?
3. Success is lethal; Only early risers survive?
4. You did your survey at 4am.

Stressed out about needing to get up early to be successful? Here's a graphic of the daily schedule of various successful artists. Spoiler: some get up early & some don't! source: https://bit.ly/2BwLWad #scicomm #epitwitterpic.twitter.com/TqODKIvaC6
Since this tweet is going kinda viral. Check out my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kareemcarr/ Lots of birds. No statistics!
Read this at 4:28 a.m. My dog woke me up.
Your dog sounds successful!
She’s a go-getter
Is that an Irish getter or an English getter? I have a shi tzdun myself.
Just your average terrier
People who are conscientious are more successful. People who wake up at 4 am are very likely high in trait conscientiousness. Ergo people who wake up at 4 am tend to be successful.
Conscientious people could be substantially more likely to participate in scientific studies/fill out surveys causing over-representation in the survey population. 
I get up at 4. Pretty sure I might be considered “successful.” Positive that I don’t like getting up at 4.
Whenever a statistician tells me they have a meeting before 9AM, It's always with doctors!
"Success" sounds like a Per2 gene mutation. I'd much rather be #MsMarvel #mutants @TillRoenhttps://www.sciencemag.org/news/2009/08/early-risers-are-mutants …
I feel very pleased with myself as a statistician that I know that’s a Circadian rhythm gene without looking it up! : )
Chronotype is a dumb thing to correlate success with. It's just a thing you're born with, like handedness. Sleep a full night, regularly, when you feel tired to be optimal. Signed: neuroscientist who wakes up at 5:30 every morning without an alarm.
Me too actually. I wish I could sleep in sometimes but ... oh well. Shhh! Don't tell the others!
What impressed me the most is that most of them use to had creative work just after breakfast. At that time many of us are usually trapped in the traffic having great thoughts and not too much chance of writing all of them down.
Cool observation.
How long do they sleep?
P.S. Good take on heritability! I've been thinking I need to tweet-rant about this, but now I can follow you instead!
