Morning people are not better than night owls.

It drives me nuts when people who wake up early brag about it like it’s some accomplishment. These people usually go to bed early too! So why is it that people who go to bed late and get up late are seen as lazy? Some of my best ideas and work happen at night when everyone is asleep, my mind is more clear. I just enjoy night time more than day time, what is so wrong with that? It would be crazy to think that everyone can just have the same sleep schedule and thrive. People have different needs and different rhythms, that is perfectly fine. If you’re a functional person, it shouldn’t matter what time you go to sleep or wake up.

Edit: Wow, I did not expect this post to blow up. Thanks for the awards! I’ve always been a night owl since I can remember. I never wanted to go to bed as a kid or a teen. My parents ran/run a night business and are up all hours of the night. They didn’t make me stay up, but inevitably that’s why my brother and I ended up night owls. It’s hard sometimes but I make it work. I’m still a student, most of my papers get done from 8pm-1am. I’m fine with it.
