Night owl definitely for sure!!

[@ecto.astronomer6702]

For people confused as how night owls do it: It’s just at night, we tend to be more relaxed and creative because our daily duties are done. Once our jobs and works are over, we have a sense of comfort and motivation to do all sorts of things since now we have “free time”. Alongside the fact that, at night most people are asleep and we have the “night to ourselves”. It’s quiet, peaceful, and comforting. Doing homework/jobs, cleaning, listening to music, doing art, it just hits different. Plus: 2am thoughts do be wildin so it’s an experience HAHAHA Reply about why you like working better at night down below to see what else i missed, this is personally from my experience

[@PearlRose0405]

Less light (I'm not a big fan sunlight sneak into my room for the whole time) and my room temperature is low (especially rainy day). This time nobody distrubs you to do whatever you wanted and needed.

[@Twisthiphop]

For sure, free time without feeling guilty about not doing work or not giving your time to someone else

[@unusual_sandwich]

Everything is asleep so the only thing that can distract you are the hallucinations. Anyway what's your weirdest 2AM thought? Mine was probably the time I spent 20 minutes having an argument with myself over why grilled cheese is called grilled cheese and not a toasted cheese sandwich.

[@outrider8569]

Less light, less movement of people /social disturbances and like OP said most of the tedious things are usually out of the way. I'm not sure why but some reason my brain feels way more efficient at like 10-11pm and onwards when studying/essay writing. Also a personal thing but I really dislike sleep and I don't feel tired until 3am ish

[@cartoonygothica]

I'm definitely a night owl. I don't like going to bed early, and by staying up late, I feel like I can get more time to myself. When it's later at night, I'm less likely to be pestered by emails and more likely to have the kitchen to myself. And there were times when I really wanted to finish (or at least make significant progress in) a project, before going to sleep. I can wake up early, when I have to get ready for something specific, but I tend to get sleepy later on in the day.

I'm an extreme early riser and believe it or not, we're not that much different. I wake up for the day at 3 AM and enjoy using the early AM hours for creativity and working on stuff. I like to joke that if you're enough of an early bird, you warp back around the other side like Pac-Man and become a night owl.

[@Aj-sc2vj]

Throughout all of high school I would regularly go to bed around 1-2am and wake up around 5am to get to my first class at 6am. I hated sleeping with a passion for a lot of my adolescence, I wouldn't even take naps, I also never drank coffee or energy drinks, but I somehow still had the energy to get through the day. I can't function with a sleep schedule like that anymore, but I'm still not able to take naps, even if I try to, not matter how tired I feel.

I'm kind of atypical, I'm a hobbyist artist but I'm an early riser, although I'm so much of an early riser that I might as well be a night owl, haha. I wake up for the day at 3 AM so there's a lot of overlap between my "work on art and other fun stuff" times (about 4 AM to 6 AM most mornings) and times night owls use, except mine's at the beginning of my day. I live in a tiny rural village where everything closes at 8 PM so amazingly, my social life is unharmed by my weird schedule. It's cool I think that extreme early risers and extreme night owls actually have lots of common ground.

[@Lillith.]

100% a night owl. I can wake up early, but I have to plan it. Let me do my thing until 2 am and you'll get me at my best. That's what I love most about my flex hours. Outside my early morning meeting every so often I can start my day at 11 without a single person taking issue. I have gotten remarks about me doing stuff at night, but as long as I do my job it's not an issue.

[@BlazeDupree1525]

Im the same I usually stay up till like 5 or 6am, and usually my natural clock wakes me up at 11am no matter how much sleep I get. I can wake up earlier if I have to, but if I get woken up early without warning I get really bitchy. My roommate learned the hard way if she's going to wake me up early at least bring my a donut or something as a sacrificial offering. Otherwise I'll either purpose sleep through her attempts or I get snappy and will either cry in frustration or fight someone 🤷😂

[@kirokie2156]

I'm a night owl and a music producer. I do agree that we, night owls, feel more creative at night. But personally, I feel more relaxed at night since it is quiet and nighttime is colder and it makes me more focused on what I want and need to do. Although being a night owl has disadvantages like most shops are closed at night so I sometimes need to wake up earlier in order to buy stuffs outside or some people I work with are morning larks so I sometimes don't get sleep at all. At first, I thought it was a bad thing being a night owl but as my life goes on, I realized that I can live my life at the fullest even being a night owl.

[@stephanietang3716]

Glad that you got a job as music producer... I am a lawyer and a night owl so I work standard office hours, have been struggling to focus at college and at work throughout my life. :( I always think I would have performed a lot better in every aspect if I don't have to wake up at 8am...

[@victoriah1448]

@@victoriah1448 I have been making songs around 3 years now but currently im just ghost producing with my friend (His artist name is ReVine) since I am still not quite sure which type of music I want to make.

Although it is not easy at first, I think anyone could do it with enough dedication.

[@Klementoso]

@@stephanietang3716 this is really relatable. I’m lucky to be self-employed, but as most of my customers are businesses I still have to put up with waking up early regularly. “Waking up at 8am…” really reminds me of the girl I’m dating. If I would say anything like that she would be surprised I consider waking up at 8 am early. She even calls 9am sleeping in. I totally disagree though.

[@GraniteStateVictoria]

My boyfriend's a musician too and a night owl (although when he told me he went to bed at noon and woke up for the day at 7 PM, I almost spit out my drink, haha, there's staying up late and then there's staying up so late it's almost early). I'm an atypical art type (artist, writer) in that I'm an early riser, but I'm such an extreme early riser (I wake up for the day at 3 AM) that I share some characteristics with night owls (and we probably have lots of overlap times since I work on stuff in the first part of the morning).

[@djcranejr.3045]

There's a really big contrast between the sleep schedule my mom has and the one that I preffer (not do bc I am still in school and HAVE to abide to the schedule that they have [I do the schedule in summer vacation and such]). My mom is a morning lark while I am a Night Owl, which is weird bc the rest of my family are Morning Larks, guess my personality and inside chemistry take more from my dad's part of the family.

[@kandeekiller]

I'm a night owl, and because of school starting so early I've been consistently getting sick every month due to a lack of sleep. I can't fall asleep until around 2am, sometimes later, so during the week I only get 5-6 hours of sleep every night. I just wish I had the option to exist on my schedule, so I wouldn't miss so much school. I just missed two weeks and I have to go back on Monday, and I'm totally unprepared.

[@murraarrum9042]

Bro why don't you go to sleep like 2pm to 10pm or some variation of that? Then you can enjoy your night, go to school, pass some time with your family and sleep well

[@kandeekiller]

@@murraarrum9042 I would try that,, but unfortunately I dance after school every day and sometimes don't get home until 9:30. I'm hoping next year's dance schedule allows me to take a nap at home between school and driving to the dance studio, plus I'll probably take less classes so I'll only be there 3 times a week maximum. Taking a nap in the middle of the day usually helps, so I might start doing that on the days I have time, which is only some Tuesdays + Fridays, but hopefully it'll help.

I had the same problem when I was in school. I always tried to just go to bed earlier but alot of times I couldn't so I would just drink coffee to stay awake.

[@ceasinghornet40d40]

i consistenly get a horrible amount of sleep on school weeks, this last week i got such little sleep that not only did i take a 6 hour "nap" after school on friday (i forgot to set an alarm -_-), i was still able to get a full night's sleep afterward too (which for me is like 9-10 hours)

[@evasmojang]

I'm a night owl too. I have to force myself off electronics at least 30 min before bed and try to start winding down by 9 o clock that way I can actually fall asleep at a reasonable time. Tbh the only reason I actually bother trying to fix my sleep is because I have to drive my brother and I to school every morning and I don't want to be falling asleep at the wheel since it's a 45 minute drive.

[@13vatra]

I'm a mix between night owl and woodcock. I always stay up late and feel least tired at night. But I have an early riser job so I'm always dead tired during the day until the sun sets, then I suddenly have energy and can't sleep.

I'm a Night Owl. Night is a very calming time for thinking, a lot of ideas coming into my mind and I enjoyed it. It's also quiet and peaceful to start project or assignments, no disturbances. I calculate my time of sleep, 4hours of sleep is good for me to stay active the whole day. I can just take a nap at night for two hours and wake up again. I can just sleep at morning if there's no schedule and avoid people. But I think things would be different after I graduate and get a job.

I’m a night owl. Miss most of the morning, usually waking up around 1-3pm. Night is the time to let my mind run free, and the latest I ever go to sleep is 7am. Assuming I can sleep, which can be a problem as a night owl. Sometimes your body just has too much energy reserved from how late you wake up that you end up going a day without sleep. That’s really the only drawback I’ve experienced. I do want a more productive sleep schedule, since with how late I wake up it gives little time to get things done that my night time usually gets cramped with things to do. I’m not a morning person, but I at least want to be in bed by 1am and up by 1pm. That’s a goal, and if I can keep that consistency I will be more productive with my time.

@@Psych2go on the rare occasion my pattern is sleeping early and being active in the morning. I find myself a bit more relaxed. Still anxious but not as bad. But when I'm a night owl. I become more anxious and unsettled. I get unsettled in the day if I struggle to sleep because of noise.

[@casualamber]

I’m definitely a night owl, but there are what I call “early bird cycles” where I find myself sleeping at or before midnight and/or sleeping late and waking up early. Idk what causes these. They aren’t regular either, but they just happen occasionally and only last up to a week. As a night owl artist, I am more creative around 22:00 (10PM) and knowing there is less activity at night gives my mind a little more peace. Not having to worry about guests and awkward moments around strangers; however, I do get anxiety at night b/c of the risk of robberies and murders. No matter how “safe” a place is, chances are slim for where I live, but they are never zero. playing music or listening to commentary while I draw helps me focus on getting art done.

[@AMiniki]

I am a night owl, have always been. But I am also a neurodivergent person and sometimes I just can’t function so I nap. Sometimes I wake up feeling better but most times it makes it worse. I think the reason why we function so well at night is because there are no distractions and is easier to just exist without a restrictive frame, I do so much at night, but in the day I get distracted so easily. 😅

[@squishybol533]

i felt like I’m a morning lark, napper, and a night owl all combined. I wake up naturally at 7am, always have a nap time after class, then I’ll be energized again for the rest of the day until 2am max. For me, I find out that my brain easily memorises things early in the morning, but at night its more towards creativity. I’d study and do my notes neatly at night so that I can revise it early in the morning. I’m way more efficient that way 😬

Hello there. I’m a night owl by accident after 5 years of poor sleep habits and staying up later and later. I now usually fall asleep around 3AM to 5AM and wake up between 11AM and 2PM.

I go gremlin if kept up past 2am and wont sleep until 6 or 7am if kept up. I *did* notice that 4am wake up felt really good though, but maybe that was because my dog always wanted a 4am walk and we would go see the sunrise every morning lol My sleep ritual also takes 3 hours, so I start that at whatever time will give me 8 hours with a 1-2 hour insomnia buffer I've suffered from debilitating insomnia for most of my life, so sleep has become part science for me 😅🙃

[@DaxVerus]

@@cantin8697 if you are more easily able to attend events or meet people because the rest of the world is "forcibly" pushed into a morning lark routine than it only creates more trouble for night owl type people to meet. There are not a slew of midnight coffee shops or bookstores, shopping centers close around 9pm, movie theaters too. This means that you are fighting both the social norm as well as a lack of ability to function on your own and have places to go to outside the social 9-5, leaving night owls to isolate after about 9pm every day. Once you get into a routine of self isolation then socialization becomes more difficult as you are not practicing it daily. Two pronged problem :) The world really should run in a split lifestyle, would be quite interesting to see this happen, more ultraviolet lights after 9pm, more businesses to have day and night shifts (I am talking big businesses, ones that normally only have a 9-5). Until that social support exists night owls will be more apt to learn self isolation.

[@Milky_mans]

For me it differs. It definitely depends on stress and other factors(like what exactly am I expected to do either that day/week/month) but most of the time, I go to bed either at 10pm 12am or 2 am. Then I’d either wake up at 3am(mainly because of an alarm if I needed to do something really important),6am, or 9am. The sleep times correlate to the wake times. I normally go to bed at 10 if I’m wanting to get up at 3, same for 16, I go to bed at 12, and I don’t ever want to get up at 9 but that happens on days off usually when I want to get up at 6 but don’t because I’m still tired. I normally stay up til 12-2 on the nights before a day off because I know I can risk not getting up at 6. All in all. I sleep like this because I just can’t bring my self to do homework. But, if I wake up at 3(and if I even get up) I need to start working or else imma fail. This was working for some time and I implemented it because of my adhd not allowing me to focus on anything and me not having the will power to work. TLDR:school fucked me up man.

Night owl here. Used to play guitar till I slept back in high school. This semester is the closest I've been to a morning person for a while, and I usually fall asleep around 12-2 (as opposed to 3-4:30 from prior semesters). Nights are quiet and alone, and since I'm very sociable and distractable I prefer to socialize when everyone is up and about, and work when they're asleep. I like mornings, but they come to an end quickly and are hard to catch. I miss them but I'm not a functional morning person.

My schedule forces me to be work with coworkers from 9am to 4 pm. Most of my coworkers only do day-time work and always like to have a laugh when I show up lethargic. "good morning sleepy" they cheerfully say as I respond with my deep crackling voice. However, when graveyard shifts (9pm to 6am) happen, I always volunteer along one work mate, and we always have a good time talking philosophy until the sun rises. NO larker EVER wants to do it (been at my work for 10+years). No matter the work, we always enjoy those times. That's when, I feel, most introverts would benefit socially if they all took up graveyard shifts. We'd all benefit socially then. Then, the larks come out happy and we go to sleep happy because we could work on our own time.

I usually go to sleep around 10:30 pm. I prefer waking up at 7:00 am tbh though. maybe the sudden waking up later is because i got darker curtains, because i got tired of waking up so early. maybe i can use an alarm to go back to waking up around maybe 7:30 am?

As a night owl I found a perect routine for me is to go to sleep as early as I can and wake up as early as I can because I used to sleep like 3-4h before TT Lemme explain: What I love about staying up is the calmness, darkness and just the quiet, comforting atmosphere sooo to be able to experience that and still lead a normal, healthy life (mainly get thay 8h of sleep and be able to do my day to day tasks) I tend to go to sleep around 9 pm and wake up at 5 am when everything is still quiet and calm~ So you get to sleep 8 hours, get that quiet night vibes and still get everything done during the day!

I get that, I usually hang around my friends all day and can function just find without them, but if I go without them for a couple hours when gaming alone, I end up feeling really lonely and depressed. Next thing I know I'm blabbing on about one of the things that's got me down to my friend. It's not like my friends aren't night owls too, it's just that they actually have lives outside of gaming, they go outside and do things (even if some of them don't want to) and some even have a SO. They end up going to bed much earlier then I do (around 12-3am) and I just sit there and try and find out what I'm gonna do since I'm not tired and don't have any sleep meds, so I cant sleep until I'm tired.

[@aoitenshi1]

I'm a night owl, and I get that the quiet nighttime is when your mind wanders (usually to the bad directions) especially when you are depressed. Since I'm not tied to any work schedule, the way I did it was to simply have fun whenever I'm depressed. Be it at 1 am in the morning or 3 am, just get up from bed and play some games, watch a movie, read a book, whatever your hobby is. Fatigue will naturally set in your body and that's a good time to fall asleep. I know this advice might not work on everyone especially if you're working in the morning, but you can try it out during weekends or holidays, or even by taking a paid leave if necessary.

Oh i am absolutely 100% a nightowl. What isn't covered in this video are Circadian Disorders such as Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. DSPD is mostly genetic, though it is still being studied, and sadly, very much not a choice for those who suffer ): In short, DSPD is like permanent jet lag, your brain does not start producing many of the chemicals required for sleep until much much later in the evening (this has a huge affect on the orexin system, as well as your digestive system!) Many people with DSPD are forced into an earlier schedule due to societal norms and requirements - this is always a recipe for a slow moving disaster because it means we often move about our world unhappy and exhausted. It also means that health wise, we're prone to being overweight, and at a much higher risk for diseases such as diabetes. Worst of all, though, is that DSPD cannot be cured. Light therapy, sleep hygiene, antidepressants, everything under the sun only give temporary relief, but one evening of going to bed 30 minutes later causes a reset of a process that takes sometimes over a year to solidify - it is the most rigid and unyielding of circadian rhythms, and we can't even go to sleep when we're exhausted unless it's a certain time. This does make those with DSPD at risk for falling into Freerunning disorder, or non-24 hour circadian rhythms where our biochemical 'day' can be anywhere between 26 and 48 hours long which is a much more severe circadian disorder. However, when we're able to live by our natural clocks we're happy, creative and healthy - it just rarely works out that way! That being said, us biological night owls were probably the ancient watchers of the fire at night, when the majority of the tribe slept, we kept them safe from ambushes, attacks from animals, and kept the fire going. We just don't have that use or recognition of importance anymore ): I will say though that I am EXTREMELY excited for the research into orexin antagonists going on - it's a whole new world for us, and there might be hope in a year or two! for a more socially acceptable schedule.

[@christaverduren690]

Well, if Dr. appointments and stores were open at 2 in the morning, then Night owls could keep to their best schedule and not have to force themselves to be awake when they want to be asleep. Force a Lark to be busy from 11pm to 6 am and see how well they do. A night owl is more productive then.

[@Foutainoflife1]

I'm a total night owl. I literally hate being out during the day. I hate the hustle and bustle of everything going on during the day. At night, I feel far less anxious, so, more calm, focused and undisturbed. This compliments my INFJ personality. The downside of this, for me, is that I still have to find ways of operating during daytime hours. Most businesses are open during the day and things like Dr appointments have to be taken care of during daylight hours not to mention being around extended family. I also don't want to be doing things like grocery shopping too late at night because, well, there are crazy people out there and a lot of crime happens under the cover of night. Being a night owl comes with challenges but I've always leaned more towards a nighttime lifestyle and it may even be rooted in the fact that as a child, both my parents worked graveyard shifts. At least my years of moon light have saved me from the ravages of the sun. I am constantly told that I look far younger than I actually am. Find the positives where you can!

experience tells me I'm a night owl. I wrote almost all my papers for university between 10pm and 4-5 am.

It immediately goes half way down from all the noise and stress on my bus, then slowly drains till lunch were I eat, feel more energized, but at the same time I usually have a headache or just this feeling that my head is full to the brim of things. Like when you eat too much, but in your brain. I then rush through my afternoon classes, spacing out for most of them.

Ever and I get nothing done throughout the day. The sad part is that I can feel my normal morning's encouragement and motivation slipping through my fingers as I either sleep or I'm still awake because I haven't slept yet Slipping past me and I get nothing done and I feel like crusty mildering installation. But also ironically I am very artistic and some of my best paintings and written chapters for my books has happened in the middle of the night so I'm always very conflicted about my sleep schedule but I've noticed that my sleep schedule when I'm very calm and happy can fluctuate with what project I'm working on because some of my really beautiful earthy paintings wanna be painted in morning light wear some of my stories and chapters want to be discovered in the dark of the night.

Some observations about environmental factors, from a morning lark: - sunlight plays a big role on my brain being awake, I've noticed that I'm most active during the summer (even though it's always hot) because there's so much daylight - during the winter, or on gloomy/rainy days in general, I feel like I fit the woodcock type more.. it's hard to get out of bed and it's hard to focus and work with artificial light - when I was in Japan during a summer vacation, the sun rose suuuper early, like at 4/5 am, and I've never been awake around that time! but I found it so easy to wake up and go about my business because konbini are open 24/7 and I could just get a quick breakfast and take a walk until tourist attractions opened up - about Japan still, even though I walked/took public transport a lot, I found myself rarely out of energy! and after the sun set, it was easy to fall asleep, whereas back home I always have trouble sleeping early - still about Japan! my sister who lives there did tell me that people in general tend to live a bit early than in our country, as in they have lunch by 12pm and dinner at about 6pm? idk if it's different anywhere else, but that's super early for me, could it have anything to do with the daylight again?

[@DragonHeartGamer]

watching this at 4am having just finished working on a creative project is very telling

[@Alissa_Marie]

I'm chronically fatigued all the time no matter how much I sleep, but when I do get to sleep I stay awake from midday to 4-5 am.

[@SapientPearwood]

Great video! A follow-up about sentinel theory would be cool. It's how I internally rationalize my... hmm, nonstandard sleep habits. So it'd be good to know if the consensus is that it's bunk. Also, my take on this video will be maximally influenced by confirmation bias, but as a full night owl I feel unreasonably vindicated watching this. It is so hard to be a night owl in society. Capable people should not be defined by whether they default to waking up before 6am... This is a uselessly small sample size, but I work at NASA, and basically everyone in my group has a phd, and we're almost all night owls. And also, most of my friends in grad school were also night owls (though maybe that's because it's easier for me to be friends with other night owls? Idk). So it's always annoyed me that industry and govt and really just society in general so completely cater to larks. Also, also: the narrators voice in this video is outstanding. Something about it reminds me of the AI Samantha from the movie Her.

I am a night owl. Being a Night owl is such a interesting thing. Thanks for posting this!!!

[@anthonythefirst9451]

I wake up super early in the morning when its still dark so I can watch youtube in peace. It's a nice feeling.

[@shheih285]

I'm a night owl and always have been, but had the interesting experience of being a day lark during a 2 week trip to Australia (opposite hours). Made me wonder, if I moved to Australia, would my sleep patterns gradually adjust until I was a night owl again?

[@themoonstudios7094]

It depends how I feel. Sometimes I get the right amount of sleep and do good the whole day or I don’t get any sleep at all. And it’s always depends what day it is. Monday-Friday I have to up at 6:05 am (for school) and weekends I wake up at 8:00 am.

[@Jessica-sh1js]

I'm a night owl for sure. though maybe a woodcock right now because I havent been able to adjust to the "normal" early bird schedule that I've been living for like 6 months now. I like being able to wake up naturally an laze around for a bit before starting to work and do things. I know that in order for me to have the most productive work day, I should wake up a 5 so I can get in my work out, dog walk, shower, and breakfast. I just cannot force myself to do that for more than 3 days in a row. I know that I should go to bed at like 10, but lately ive been tossing and turning until 4am or just get hyperfocused into something and all of a sudden its 2 am. The time change and it being too dark to walk my dog through the park after work is really ruining me too, as i didn't feel bad if I slept in, knowing that I could still take the 2 mile walk after work, but now I don't feel safe doing that.

[@lildez4781]

Okay so did anyone else notice the humming drawn out who when 'who's more creative' was said? Because that was amazing and it Judy made me so irrationally happy. 😊

[@yourlocal_fifi]

Hey, Psych2Go! I'm a new subscriber, these past few months, I've been feeling like I'm not hungry, I feeling like I have a lot of stress, I would force myself to finish my assignments before school ends, even I know that I can do it at home, not really sure why I would do this, and if I'm not able to finish it before school ends, I would kind of start panicking, feeling very stressed. Sometimes, I would feel like I'm always peoples' second choices, I would feel that I'm nothing, sometimes I would just be happy thinking nothing could go wrong. Most of the times, I would feel like I'm not tired, I would sleep very late at night and sleep till around 10-11am, or I would sleep at 10pm and also wake up at 10-11am. No, I don't lose interest in the things I would do in the past. But I feel like I'm a very sensitive person, a person that can't really control my emotions. I know this is a very long comment, but I would like to ask, *Is it just me or is my mental health getting worse? Or do I have anxiety or depression?* I'm sorry for this long comment, I don't really know if you know if I have depression or anything, but if you could give me an answer, or at least let me know if something's wrong, I would really appreciate it, thank you, hope you have a nice day! ❤🙏

[@hihoyo37]

So like IK you asked for psych2go’s opinion, but I think that you may have some minor anxiety. If you self harm, or consider suicide, the problem is serious. Also psych2go has a few videos covering anxiety and depression. However, the simple fact that you posted this comment shows that you are not beyond hope. Hope this helps ig, bc I’m not psych2go and my advice prob isn’t as good, bc I’m not a professional either.

[@hihoyo37]

Plz read this comment… or have you gone to sleep

[@yourlocal_fifi]

@@hihoyo37 I haven't gone to sleep, just finished some classes, and I'm not sure if I actually have anxiety or depression. My parents just think that it's just minor stress and I'd feel better tomorrow. I've been trying to have hope in myself and have tried to ignore my feelings and just be my happy self since I don't know what else to do. But I would like to thank you for replying me, even you're not a professional or Pysch2Go, thank you for having the effort to reply me.

[@Becca6]

I was told I'd become a morning lark as I got older. This was incorrect, mornings have become even worse with age. I had a meeting at 9am this morning and they asked how I was, and I could barely string a coherent sentence together because I'm not used to having to "people" that early 🤣

[@ginamcdonald7854]

It’s 2:50 am as I write this comment. I’m a night owl, and always have been. I absolutely hate our 8:30 am meetings! Don’t want to be around people, much less talk to them at that time of day!!!

[@gunasenawijesinghe8366]

I like your voice it is so calm for me ❤

[@sparchamp2]

I am *EVERYTHING!* I am a morning lark, a night owl, a napper, a woodcock, and swift. It just depends on the day

[@FoxPonyShift2013]

I'm a mix of a night owl and a woodcock. Its conflicting hard with my job, which usually happens during the morning.

[@-.k4ymup.-]

I’m a night owl, and you described me.

[@liahmacncheese7495]

I am both an early bird and a night owl! I think around my teen years I started to want to sleep in more, but I have a big family and share my room so... yeah, never really got used to sleeping in😅 I will say that my environment usually dictates how my sleep affects my mood. Like, during a hard time I'll have those restless nights occasionally, but what usually happens is my sleep schedule won't change, but I'll wake up feeling gross and tired. I'm happy to say that I'm doing really great now, and have a healthy, consistent sleep schedule😁 thanks P2G!

[@hitoshi2929]

As a highschool student and night owl, I usually go to bed at 1-2am and wake up at 6:30am to get ready for school. Because of where I live I’m not close to school so I have to wake up almost 3 hours earlier before school actually starts. My days are long and sometimes if I really overexert myself I’ll pass out and sleep from 5pm to 9pm or 9pm to 2-3 am, it all just depends. I’ve always been a night owl and I’m most comfortable when I’m alone in my room at 2 am doing nothing in particular. I would also definitely consider myself a creative person and an artist. I like to be alone whenever I have the chance, especially when I’m at home so I tend to stay up late so I can feel at peace by myself. On weekends I’ll stay up even later till 5am and then sleep till 5pm. But I actually don’t like waking up that late. I don’t mind sleeping in till 3pm, but 4pm or later just makes me feel gross, but sometimes my body can’t help it. I do wish I could change my sleep schedule on weekdays for school but I love being awake in the night and it doesn’t really affect me all that much. Sometimes when my mental health isn’t doing the best my sleep schedule can really mess with me, but I’ve been doing alright recently.

[@CrystalNibarger]

I don't really consider myself a napper however, I am a little bit of a napper and a night owl. Going by what you said in this video it feels like to me morning people are more extroverted and night owls are more introverted I could be wrong but that's just what it feels like to me.

[@Twisthiphop]

Same

[@GanymedeTheCorgiCat]

I am such a night owl lmao. In fact, I’m watching this at 1:17 am, and on weekends, I fall asleep at 3

[@balasavenedintulashabalbeoriwe]

I just want alone time to relax because my family has no boundaries and will bother me at any second of the day when they’re awake. They don’t bother me when I’m sleeping (most of the time). So, being a night owl helps me live the life I want, and I still see them and can help with their several requests during the early hours of the day.😊

[@gianna.herr.]

i’m not a mix of both i am both i go to sleep at 11-3 and wake up 5-7 i feel refreshed and always ready for the day so i think i’m doing great :)
