I don’t know...
maybe they just need their morning coffee.

Cockroaches Are Morons In The Morning, Geniuses In The Evening
Seriously, the article mentions studies with humans that showed time of day to be a factor in ability to learn. I used to have classes like that when I taught high school. When school starts at 7:30 AM (and some of the kids had to be up by 6 to get read and catch the school bus), there aren’t a lot of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed learners on the other side of the lab bench. (Hell, I wasn’t too bright-eyed and bushy-tailed some mornings either. But that’s what Monday Night Football will do to you.)
