4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Correct, it's not magic. It's biology. Light, mostly natural light, is what controls your daily rhythm and what constantly resets your biological clock to a 24 hours cycle when it's by default not that good and might range from 23 to 25 hours naturally.
The latter fact is also responsible for natural early birds or natural late risers because those are people with a natural inner clock more leaning to the 23 hour or 25 hour side respectively.
And that's where things actually get interesting. The majority belongs to the second group. They are also the one most suffering from our modern style of life. Because while the early bird can just start the day a bit slower and can voluntarily go to sleep an hour earlier when his inner clock tells him the day is over (that free time after all), the late risers don't have that choice. Neither can they just sleep a bit longer matching their "but my 25-hour of day/night are not done yet"-cycle because they have to get to work, nor can they go to bed an hour earlier to get enough sleep because they are simple not tired yet and still in day mode.
And there is exactly one thing that helps those people not living in a constant state of light sleep deprivation. Earlier sunrises and sunsets to adjust there biological clock to better work with a 24 hours duration. Daylight saving times does the opposite and hurts the portion of the population already badly adjusted to hour modern day cycle (again: they are the majority, too).
