Who All Are Night Owls

[hollydolly]

I don't think we can easily change our body clocks, and we probably don't know why many of us are geared to be morning or night people. Fortunately, my wife and I were the same. If I could really choose which to be, I would stick with being a morning person. The man was here at 8 AM to mow today. Later this month I have early morning (fasting) blood work and an early doctor visit 3 days later.

My best friend and emergency contact is a night person. I have a check-in service I call every morning to let them know I made it through the night. I have to be very careful and not forget or by 9 AM they will call him. He's a nice person, but a bear if he gets a call before 10:30 AM.

I understand him...

I have been a night owl a lot but not really by choice. My hours get out of whack quite a bit. So sometimes I'm a night owl and sometimes not. It also has to do with sleep problems for me.

Prior to Covid, I woke at 6AM with an alarm for 20 years, or up 5 to 10 minutes prior. My internal clock knew when it was time to get out of bed.
I'm usually in bed by 10:30PM the latest.
Once Covid hit, I did not need an alarm clock as I worked remotely from home and now I'm up any time after 4AM
I start to toss and turn and just have to get out of bed. Maybe once a month I might sleep past 5:30AM.

Used to be a night owl, and LOVED working second shift.

Now I am in bed ~10:30 - 11:00 and get up ~7:00 - 7:30.

Wide awake at four am, at five am I gave up and got up, I have heard it called nyctophilia, sounds disgusting I much prefer night owl.
