    Morning people, in my experience at least, firmly believe that night people are just morning people with insufficient self-discipline.

      Lmao, 100%. I swear most folks I know believe being a night owl is simply a lack of self control, or they have a screw loose

        sure it’s a lack of self control, if i had better self control i could force myself to go to bed at 21:00 and lie there for 2 hours until i fall asleep out of tortured boredom, and then i could force myself out of bed at 07:00 despite my limbs feeling like lead and every movement bringing me abject misery and pain!

      There’s actually a genetic bias on it. It can be overridden, but you’ll always feel a bit burnt out from it. It also changes with age (teenagers are the latest, getting earlier as you age.

        As a night person who has to wake up at 6am, I can absolutely confirm. I’m always tired.

          I’m the same way. If I fall asleep at 10pm but wake up at 6am I’m absolutely miserable for the first hour, but if I go to sleep at 2am and wake up at 10am I’m refreshed and in a good mood most of the time. I’m 30 and it hasn’t gotten any better with age yet.

          Fuck mornings I hate them so much.
