Everyone likes to give a shout-out to the month they were born (February, what up!). But is there really any advantage to being born in one month as opposed to any of the others?
Surprisingly, studies point to YES. And I’m talking about multiple studies that suggest December is the best month in which to be born.
Let’s look at the evidence.
First, one study showed that babies born in December fall asleep faster and earlier than babies born during the summer months. Furthermore, another study suggested that December babies are more likely to be “morning people” than people born in any other month, and we all know that is a MAJOR life advantage.
Second, research shows that people born in December have a better chance to live to the age of 100. The study also showed that an impressive number of December-born folks actually lived to be 105 or older.
Studies also show that those born in the twelfth month of the year have lower rates of cardiovascular disease than those born in the other eleven months of the year.
What about the brains of December babies? Well, because they are usually the youngest in their classes, they often benefit academically. It can be hard being the smallest kid in the class when you’re younger, but think about how ahead of the curve you’ll be when you apply to colleges.
One more thing: if you’re worried about what kind of career your kiddo might have, consider this: people in December are the most likely to work as dentists, for some reason, which is definitely a good thing.
Now I’m kind of bummed I was born in February…thanks for nothing, Mom and Dad!
