Early birds are pretty ungrateful since we kept them safe during the night in unga bunga times

Staying up late can shorten your life.
Me: I’m gonna stay up late every night 😁

I'm basically a Night Owl now and I'm starting to sleep at 6 am.

[silvibanerjee]

I like to go to bed at around 9-10am, n wake up 6.30- 7 PM.. But not able to follow it mostly 😣

I am a night owl. Always been. So was my grandmother. My mother was a morning person. Getting up for school was a tough one for me i needed 2 alarm clocks ⏰ and even then I still hit the snooze. But I did fine in school actually and went on to college and finished it up with a trade school program which I went to become a medical assistant. And from there the 2 medical jobs i had were working in the urgent care area working the afternoon shift 3pm~11pm. If im up early (before 12 noon) it takes me forever to even leave the house. Sometimes I just can't mentally wake up but let me say when a certain time comes around its like my inner biological clock goes DING DING and im fully awake fully alert and ready to go...
So when I hear someone say that a night owl person is lazy that bothers me because I'm not lazy. And I'm sure a lot of other people aren't either they just prefer nights.

I still don't think much information was given, unless I missed something. I get that trying to change your sleep schedule can be stressful on the body, but it you are being as productive and working a night shift job, does that make it better, or am I still going to deal with most of the general side effects? I've never been a morning person, which has caused me to be tired during school for many years, and even in jobs in my later years. I know I'm a night owl and I am aware that my sleep schedule is completely a mess. I expect nothing more than the negative effects. Though if I can eventually make a proper structure for my sleeping, I would hope to feel some benefits of a good sleep, and a better productive day (evening/night).

For someone who needs intervention. Is there a company that hires out babysitters to help train nightowls to get to bed on time?

Me watching this at 4:30am with not sleep

[easternunit]

I wish that when I start feeling sleepy during the day, it turns nighttime outside, and it is 10 pm magically 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[slobodan]

me who goes to sleep late and wakes up early:

[evlikestea]

I’m kinda a night owl, I stay up really late, but I wake up at 8-9 am.

[dosed]

Sucks cause I can wake up early fine and stay up late fine

[douglasdecristo]

Does that mean if you can afford it's all those hazards cuz I get 8 hours sleep on the day

[lyannabucket]

I love this program. Her energy is so good! 🔥😍

[cosmicloner]

What Does Staying up all Night and Sleeping all Day do to the Body?

[cherrycola]

That is horrible. What if you work graveyard and a doctor. My grandpa went to bed at 7pm and woke up at 4am and he got heart disease and unfortunately passed away in his early 70s. I think that is still young.

[ThellmanChan]

I fall asleep 2am - 3am, maybe 1am at lowest, and i wake up 6:50 for school.

So about 4-5 hours every night


Oof
