Do intelligent people tend to stay up later?

I heard that people with high IQs stay up late. I found this article which in turn refers to this study:

S. Kanazawa, K. Perina, Why night owls are more intelligent, Personality and Individual Differences 47 (2009) 685–690

More intelligent children are more likely to grow up to be nocturnal adults who go to bed late and wake up late on both weekdays and weekends

Is the science sound? I find this strange because there is the claim that successful people get up early.

I'm quite sure that we already had a very similar question, but I can't find it. – SIMEL Jan 07 '14 at 12:33

There is a very similar question here, but it has not been answered. http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/15200/are-intelligent-people-more-nocturnal-than-people-not-considered-intelligent – Tor-Einar Jarnbjo Jan 07 '14 at 13:06
@Jeroen I'd say it's a duplicate, but apparently you can't vote to close as a duplicate if there other one doesn't have answers. – rjzii Jan 07 '14 at 17:50
