Night owl here. Definitely feel targeted by the expectation to get up super early in the morning.
How did the morning people get control to set the schedule anyways? I say we night owls seize that control in the night while they slumber so we can set things to a more reasonable schedule!
Something something a farmers crop yield or something
They woke up first and start making noise.
Sunlight favors them.
But then they'll wake up before us and change everything back
Time Delay Safe that only opens after 10 PM Muahahaha
Farmers have to get up at dawn to tend the fields, and since essentially everyone was a farmer in the past, getting up in the morning became the norm and simply stayed the norm long after most people were no longer farmers.
Yes! Let us rise up! After this nap...
This comment reminded me of the "night people" rick&morty episode 😂
Find a remote job with a time zone a few hours behind you. My work doesn't start until 10am my time, and it's glorious.
I took the opposite of your advice and now I am waking up at 530am. Can we please change the direction of the rotation of the earth?
Just think, you could start work at 2am!
I drove to work with my seat belt off hoping a drunk driver would hit me. I don't recommend graveyard shifts.
Better yet, find a job where your boss says "I don't care when you work as long as you join the occasional calls and get the work done"
Some days I take my son to the park in the morning and don't start work until 11-12. Sometimes I'll work 12 hours on a Thursday and take off on Friday for a 3 day weekend.
The only down side is I have to keep my phone on and laptop nearby by if I'm close to close encase of an urgent issue.
As "targeted" as a global nuclear attack.
Question, is anyone really a night owl or morning person, or is it just that we builded habits that our body fully integrated?
Yes, people that are very active at the morning exist.
Both. In my case for example, I have a condition called delayed sleep phase syndrome, which causes me, on average, to not even feel tired until well after midnight, and actual sleep will alude me until after 3am. This is regardless of what time I wake up btw, I could fall asleep at 3am and wake up at 5am or 2pm and I'd still be wide awake after midnight the following night.
On the other hand, I know quite a few people who can adapt their sleep schedules fairly quickly to switch from a morning person to a night owl or vice versa.
Interesting, i think my question popped up because i never really felt the effect of my environment on my circadian cycle.
So i wasn't to much aware that people feel tired or the need to wake up at specific times of the day. I'm someone that can adapt like you said.
For me the only thing that i felt had an impact was if a specific hour is a habit. Then you feel way better sticking to it.
(That and of course the amount of sleep)
