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!
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.
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.
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.
