Would rather die as a night owl. For most people, our time is owned by someone else during the day time and the night is the only time we have for ourselves. The only people who are lucky enough to be the early bird are those who are already having their basic needs being met without having to sacrifice their time to someone else. I used to be that Early bird, but trying to keep that pace had the same effect as a brand new tire wearing out, and I ended up becoming a night owl once I hit my 40s.

[@yamchayaku]

@@dampking I never stayed up late until I reached my 40s. When I retired early to live off my savings and investments, I stopped having that need to stay up late now that my time now belongs to me again. If I was still working, I'd probably still be a night owl.

Means there's less people when I buy groceries and I get my productivity sooner!

​@@jayfehily6125 That's the main issue for me: going to bed before 10 pm. It's not an issue during the week, but on weekends that alone would be enough to lead to social isolation. There are just so many clashes here. I need to be able to go on dates on Saturdays (because I'm 36 and single and would prefer to be neither of those), but I know that if I fail my rhythm just once it would take me about a whole week to get it back on track (thank God I don't have to work shifts). How can society simultaneously expect you to be an early bird during the week but be available for social interactions on Fridays and Saturdays at least until midnight? That makes no sense and I hate it.

[@jamoecw]

the reason you think early birds are more organized is because you live in an area that doesn't have night jobs, or at least aren't aware of them. night owls can get up early (for their schedule) and do things before work just like the early birds.

i think this video is talking about your natural tendency towards staying up late/ waking early - a night shift is forcing you to be a 'night owl' so its not really related

[@designconker4796]

I have been a night owl all of my life, throughout school I was labeled the bad kid because I slept through majority of my classes (more often earlier in the day) but still got A’s and B’s on all of my tests. After I graduated I worked a 2nd shift job and that was pretty good, then I started college failed a couple of classes because of the early time frame (8-9am) but after moving my classes I graduated salutatorian. I’m 32 right now and I work a 3rd shift job and have for the last 2 years and I have never felt more awake when I wake up. The only notable thing was that for 6 months of this job I worked swing shifts and for that to work I had one day a week that I worked a double and then had to switch to morning for 3 of my 5 work days. The switch back to thirds for the beginning of my week was easy but it was rough to switch to firsts for 3 days a week. Eventually they moved me back to 3rds and I have been very happy with being on thirds. My point is, I am old. I have had societies morning routine on me and it caused a lot, and I mean A LOT, of depression. But now that I am on thirds, the biggest issue is that I don’t get to talk to my friends as much since they all work first shifts and sometimes it really does feel as though you are punished for being a night owl.

The book "Why we sleep" covers this very topic and a whole lot of other reasons why sleep disruption is bad for everything in regards to your health. Even though I'm a morning lark, I wish we as a society would change to accommodate night owls as well. At least for office jobs, I don't see why we have to force them to start work at 09:00 rather than 10:00 or 11:00. Any potential time lost of collaboration between team members due to schedule start time differences will be made up by the night owls being more productive overall for following their own natural sleep routine.

Another thing that can introduce error to the data is some night owls have schedule that fits them. So it will give them higher score. Take me as an example, I'm no doubt a night owl. I feel extremely alert at night, because there are much less distractions during the night as compared to during the day. My job as a programmer requires a lot of focus and attention to the problems I'm trying to solve. Every time I'm distracted, I will need 10-20 mins to get back to where I was. Hence, by adopting the night owl schedule, I find myself being more productive. Sadly, some people just don't understand that and don't want to understand. They simply just want me to do it their way and hamper my productivity.

[@LostOter]

I scored a 13 in the night owl test, but if there was an option to go beyond 1 I would pick it in every single question. I always struggled like crazy in school barely getting passing grades, on the verge of falling asleep in classes constantly. Then i started my bachelor in computer science which was 100% online with no set schedules and only video recordings and deadlines. Suddenly I got straight A's everywhere and life felt amazing.

I used to be a computer night owl, but the last 10 years I've become more of a morning bird. I simply attribute this to not being overly excited about new experiences on my computer. However rarely, if I do find something exciting to delve into, I'll easily turn into a night owl for a few days. There's also something about the night time which is very externally distraction free.

[@vixxcelacea2778]

This. No one expects anything of you. No phone calls, no correspondences. It's generally quieter. I think better at night. I hate going to bed before 2am and have been forcing myself (with the help of my partner, who I'm sure enjoys my grumpiness every time they need to come get me) to do so because everything I need to do doesn't function on my natural pattern at all, which is more polyphasic. I want to be up at 6am, nap in the morning after the early part, then nap again at evening and be awake for most of the night.

[@F1lip3JF]

Indeed the distraction free element of the night can be very alluring. Sometimes I still go for it. It can bring positive things, like a peak of productivity.

[@kirilbarbov6949]

I’m definitely a night owl as I go to sleep like 4-5 AM and get up at 1 AM almost every day regardless if I’m working or not. I struggled a lot in school getting up in 6:30 AM but I adjusted my sleep schedule as much as I could but would always be tired and like half asleep the entire day, basically a zombie. After getting into university it got better as I never had classes earlier than 8:30 AM and even that was rarely. Eventually I found a work which allowed me to work fully remote from 4-12 PM and 2-3 night shifts a month. I’m kinda stuck now cause I know how hard it will be to find a better job that will allow me to keep a similar schedule. Almost never needing an alarm and always getting enough sleep is awesome. Wish it was possible to choose your work schedule in more fields of work. I think it would be better for the society as a whole and improve productivity and may also eliminate rush hours to some extent.

"society wasn't designed for night owls" That's the only answer you need I don't know what the rest of the video talks about, but from a personal perspective, as a night owl... I prefer the night for a variety of reasons, mainly because I work better in absolute silence and the night also has a colder temperature that is much more enjoyable to me and most importantly... I prefer darkness to sunlight People tend to have this concept of night owl that is very wrong wich is that "we are lazy people who stay up all night to play videogames" wich is veeeery veeeery far from the truth I sleep spproximately 6 hours a day, wich is all I need to feel full of energy, I wake up at 12 and go to sleep at 6 in the morning... And during all this time, 8 to 12 hours I use for productivity (I'm a digital artist who will be a future mangaka), the remaining 6 hours of my day are divided into breaks, needs, social interactions and well... having fun, such as watching movies or anime, and playing videogames. As you can see, I have a pretty ordinary routine in terms of balance between work and enjoyment... Actually, I'd even say that I work more compared to the average person, not even counting my studies in the equation... We night owls are perfectly functional individuals, it is not our faults that our psyche is completely destroyed, instead it is society that is designed in a way that doesn't favor us or atleast give us options That's why most night owls either choose individualistic carreers, such as freelance digital artist in my case... Or some would choose jobs with night time shifts, such as doctors or even the military So as you can see, we are not lazy, we are just individuals with different routine and preferences

I feel like people find it a bit hard to wrap around the two main reasons one could have different chronotypes because of its oppository effects. Excluding the middle ground area which are already expected to switch around between the tendencies of both extremes, accomodating for Night Owls schedules are important because genetic is not a thing you can change yourself. But at the same time, your environment can influence the tendencies for a certain chronotype extreme as well, so Early Birds can be habituated into a nightly schedule and Night Owls can shift for an earlier schedule. The current main issue of society is the stigma and rigidity of scheduling which is biased for the Early schedules and against the Night schedules. In reality, an Early Bird can become more productive at night, say, if they are forced to get accustomed to overtime work. On the other hand, children are often unable to choose a schedule for themselves or have vastly diffeeent schedules compared to adults (like babies and infants requiring more sleep, etc.) that is not accommodated by most mandatory schooling schedule and parents. In case of kids, taking the average of every kid means you're never going to look after the min and max side of things. In case of career and employment, taking the min and max AND THEN using the whole range of time out of everyone's day isn't going to be more profitable or productive. It just makes the Night Owls drag their feets into work while the Early Birds drag them out of work, whereas the middle people drag them a little bit going in and out. But I guess it doesn't matter much as long as the ones that "set the work schedules" can freely arrange their own time to not die as early. That is how it usually is the higher your positions, right? Probably not. What an unhappy society, and somehow being "happier" is not "productive" to some.

[@Patronobrbuild]

💡 Extra infos 1. (Just to emphasize) Do not neglect sleep hygiene, this protocol is the gold standard in the treatment of insomnia. 2. Poor sleep quality negatively impacts the functioning of the prefrontal cortex, essential for executive functions such as decision-making and self-control, and simultaneously increases activity in the amygdala, amplifying emotional responses. This dynamic may be one of the underlying factors in the challenges faced by Night Owls, as shown in the video. 3. When facing insomnia or difficulties in falling asleep, avoid self-medication, as it may temporarily induce sleep but does not address the underlying causes of the problem and can compromise sleep quality. Consulting a health professional is essential for effective and safe treatment. @memeabledata Incredible video, congratulations on the work

[@chaoticatom6150]

I've always found it hard to wake up before 9am. The thing is even if I tried to sleep earlier to get enough sleep to be up and out the door by 8 am for school or whatever, cannot sleep before 12-1am. Even as a kid I'd be sent to bed probably around 9 and I would just lay in bed. This continued later and later as I got older with the less sleep I needed. I wish the world was a little bit more designed for at least the in between people and not the early birds, because even as a young kid I couldn't sleep which caused me todo worse in school. I'm lucky that my college has a morning block and a afternoon block, most classes starting 11am or later which is good enough for me.

[@Asterism_Desmos]

When I was taking the SAT a while back, I hardcoded myself to waking up early so that I’d feel refreshed. I woke up at 6 AM for the moth leading up to the SAT. I went from going to bed at 3 AM and waking up at 7 AM for school, to going to bed at 10:30 and waking up at 6. This then drifted out to 7:30 every morning, and going to bed at 12.

You can change if you really want it. A job that makes you wake early might be the way to do it.

[@gamstybanky3860]

i used to wake up in the morning until i became more free, since then i started to experiment with my limits about sleep, eating, sports, reading...normal things, also mostly for mind and soul. I reached the conclusion that i can go to sleep just when i wasn't able to stand or keep my eyes open at all, other times being zombie all day to fix my sleep. Often i either had tons of things to do or i was overly excited about next episode or next chapter or next quest or one more game, but most times, because i had some pain or cold (slightest cold is severe for me). Lately i managed to embrace sleeping and be a little relaxed, but still being awake at night sometimes to avoid more responsabilities xD

[@cygnals524]

I scored a 20 on the questionnaire. I know I am a night owl and always have been. My parents gave me the nick name "Night Owl" as a baby and toddler as I was always awake after midnight. I am almost 58 now. I worked 2nd and parts of 3rd shift for the last 30 years I worked basically, now before we had children I did have a few day jobs and never had any trouble getting up in the morning unless I drank too much in my late teenage years and early 20s Even at the age of 4, 5, 6, 7, etc... my parents allowed me to stay up late and watch TV and I would fall asleep on the couch after watching whatever Godzilla movie was on back then or music show because we did not have MTV or VH1 and most of the live music shows back then were on at or after midnight. I even remember watching the very first episode of SNL in 1975. We also listened to the radio which included mystery theater as well as music & I also took walks. I almost always have had dogs so I thought nothing of taking a long walk with my dog at midnight, 1:00AM, 2:00AM, etc... I did this in my 20s, 30s, 40s & even still in my later 50s except the walks are not quite as long as they use to be hehehe. We do live in a 24/7 365 day world these days so I hate the stigma that can still get attached to being a night owl. My wife and I decided to work separate shifts once we had children and of course I was the option for the evening/night part of that. Before they were in school I would get my kids up and hang out with them so they would sleep in a bit in the morning with me. We are humans after all and are also very adaptable when we need to be. Once summer vacation came around for my kids we did fun things after midnight such as take an hour drive to the seacoast (Atlantic Ocean) and walk around on the beach and other things we could do. In the winter months we would go to the park we lived next to and go sledding or ice skating. I even got a friend or two to go midnight skating with me and we always had a blast. My kids are 30 & 27 now. My daughter was a night owl until 3 years ago(she is 30) she got a morning job and so does her husband so she prefers mornings now but does work from home since the COVID lock downs. My son is still a night owl and it is 2:15AM here on the east coast and he is still awake as usual & most evenings we are both awake at this time. I have read that humans use to sleep twice in a 24 hour cycle before we had electricity which sort of makes sense. Most people woke up early before or with the sun and then went to bed very early around 7:00PM - 9:00PM and then woke up around midnight for a few hours and then went back to bed to catch a few hours sleep before starting it all over again. I have also read this time after the 1st sleep was when most babies were created. I am also a guitar player so being awake late always gave me quiet time with almost know one around to practice from 11:00PM-3:00AM. I can also fall into that pattern of having two sleeps at times as well if I was up early and busy for whatever reason. I also notice many guitar players/musicians seem to be night owls. Most of the great rock, classic rock, progressive rock, heavy metal, jazz, experimental bands recorded all the great albums I grew up listening to in the evening and after midnight. Frank Zappa had a habit of writing and recording from 5-6PM - 3-5AM in his home studio and then slept after that. Most other bands/artists seem to work a similar schedule when you hear their interviews when they talk about recording their best releases.c There is a reason there are jokes about rock bands/rock stars sleeping all day and staying up all night. This is because they seem to do their best work then, plus who would ever want to go to a concert at 8:00AM? What band would ever want to put on a show at that time? It seems that idea never caught on hehehe. I am retired now so it allows me to just follow whatever schedule I choose and when we have plans or appointments I can easily adjust my sleep schedule to accommodate whatever we have to do. The one thing I had to do when working 2nd and 3rd shifts was to keep a regular sleeping pattern or I would feel like crap really quickly if I went several days in a row without doing this. I usually slept from 2:00AM/3:00AM - 9:00AM/10:00AM as a guideline but also could adjust that if needed. I was always way to wound up after work to go right to bed. I noticed most of the males I worked with also had this issue while many of my female co-workers seemed to be able to go right to bed within 30-60 minutes after getting home which I could never do. I can also stay awake the entire overnight hours and go to sleep around 8:00AM/9:00AM at times especially if I got carried away practicing. I have a Fender practice amp and throw on my headphones and can get lost in that at times. My wife also wakes up at 3:30AM because of her job and has for 15+ years so it can also give us some quiet time to chat and hang out as well. The world does not operate on a 7:00AM-3:00PM schedule the way it did when I was a kid so neither should anyone who enjoys the after midnight hours. I am lucky that I can function well if I need to wake up early and I have worked with a few guys who could not function at all before noon time. I was also never lazy & I always became a boss or supervisor at literally every job I ever had working 2nd and 3rd shift. I was always the first one in and the last one to leave. I was never lazy if I had to come in early at 10:00AM/11:00AM like a few of the guys I worked with over the years. The are plenty of folks who are just lazy regardless if they are a morning person or night owl & I have worked with plenty of both. Even when I worked day shift I was always up late usually watching Johnny Carson or Dave Letterman, Craig Ferguson or whatever or night show host was on, especially in the pre - internet days. I never expected to write a mini novel so I hope this does not bother too many folks. I really enjoyed this video and decided to subscribe and look forward to watching more of your videos. This topic is one I am always curious about. I do honestly think in my case I was born a night owl, like I mentioned my parents said I was always ready to rock before during and after midnight until the sun came up and seemed to naturally gravitate towards this throughout my entire life as well & honestly would not want it any other way. There is something about looking at the moon, planets & constellations after midnight that is awesome & many late nights they are my only captive audience. I use to actually write about their position in the sky in my journals as to keep track of how they do their celestial dance throughout the year as well. Thanks for this video and an excellent topic that I have always been interested in.

There's plenty of honest work being done at night. In fact our society would collapse without it. So you might want to avoid using terms like "honest" when referring to daytime work. The concept of tying morality to work regardless seems quite puritanical. Though I'm sure that wasn't your intention. Anyway, I'd argue that the crimes most damaging to our society on a broader scale are actually committed during the day, because the necessary mechanics of society are most active then. Crimes at night are usually ones motivated by desperation or passion. The crimes of desperation are more in line with a scavenger mentality. And while we might generally look down on those kinds of people, our species owes our survival to it. Our distant mammalian ancestors had to scavenge or hunt at night to avoid the majority of predators. Survival reliant on earlier activity became more common as we became more capable predators ourselves. And it cemented when agriculture became the primary way we fed ourselves. While sleep behavior has changed many times in our history for many reasons, the concept of monophasic sleep is pretty modern regardless of when a person wakes. It was actually more common prior to electric lights, to have a biphasic sleep schedule. As hinted at above, the stigma against night n owls is much more recent I think. Having more to do with how the industrial revolution transformed our society's expectations of the working class.

I'm someone who naturally wakes up early and always have fun. People made fun of me when I was a kid and teen but now in my 20s, suddenly everyone's "5 AM club this" and "productivity mornings" that. Meanwhile, I get up at times like 4 AM and 5 AM naturally (sometimes as early as 3:30 AM in June) because I love the solitude of the very early mornings. I have no desire to win the climb to the top of the corporate ladder. I just like getting up early. The night sky with all the stars, the little patch of blue on the eastern horizon growing brighter and brighter. I just love creating art, playing video games, going outside of a walk and looking up at the stars, so peaceful. I do my morning routine first. To all the night owls, you and I aren't so different. You say you like being creative at night. So do I. It's just for me, I'm naturally energized first thing in the morning. And then I make myself breakfast, watch it get light out, greet the sun like the corny dork I am, make myself the lunch I eat every day at work (homemade salad and a cup of plain yogurt, it's my lunch every day, I love it so much and I couldn't imagine eating anything else for lunch), I bring a handheld gaming system to work (usually DS or 3DS) and play that during lunch break (while eating lunch, PSA: Don't eat yogurt while you're in the middle of a boss battle, experience had to teach me that lesson). My work day is 8 AM to 4 PM. I live in a tiny rural town where everything's closed around 8 PM (8:30 at the lates) so getting up early doesn't hurt my social life any.

That's wonderful, I am too an early bird. I can relate to everything that you like, especially playing with the 3DS. Morning is the best :D

[@GraniteStateVictoria]

@@phoenix6337 My favorite thing is taking a walk as it gets light out and observing the sunrise, and quickly looking the other direction to notice Earth's shadow (that little band of twilight on the other horizon), also I love making breakfast and looking out the window in the morning watching it get light out.

as someone who sleep late and get up super early, i see this as a lose-lose i'm gonna die early apparently. (i don't want to die i didn't even graduated high school yet)

Meanwhile there's me who wakes up early and goes to sleep late, sometimes getting only 4 hours of sleep

For some reason, from 1am - 5am time seems to rapidly speed up for me, no matter what I'm doing, no matter what I'm working on. I'm gonna blame that

[@CarlosAM1]

Yeah pretty much. My mother is a full on early bird, she constantly tells me that sleeping at any time past 12AM is bad for my health, even if my body wants to sleep at 1-3 AM.

You talked about Night Owels as people who dont sleep much because they like to stay awake and have to wake up early, but... What is with people who have the opportunity to sleep as much as they like and are night owels, for example sleeping from 3 AM to 11 AM or even more from 5 AM to 1/2 PM. Is this still unhealthy?

[@Boba_fett327]

I mean you are getting enough sleep so I believe its fine

[@semontrashbin799]

sun exposure is important

[@Dojaesd]

For me waking up that way would make the day feel wasted.

[@charondesousa8868]

I work night shift from 5:30pm-1:30pm about 5 nights a week and go to sleep around 3-5am most mornings, sleep until about 11:30am-1:30pm and for the most part I still feel fine after about 4 months of this schedule. I'm a bit of a hybrid, I can be a night owl or an early bird so I don't if that has anything to with it.

I work evening shifts. 3pm to 9:30, and it feels like a perfect balance. I usually sleep from 5am to 1pm, so I'm still getting my 8 hours in.

I do believe 'Industriousness' became the personality trait to aspire to around the time of the Industrial Revolution. Prior to this it was High Quality/ Honourable and Moral/ Honest/ Reliable personality. (Thus the gun or sword duels when asomeones reputation was damaged). This information was compiled by a research Author who studied grave stones from the 1600's on . Most were in the US I believe. The inscriptions went from quality personality to production and achievement. It gives an insight into the changes into western values at least. I cannot remember the name of the book, but the Author was a fascinating Interviewee and would be on YT somewhere, no doubt.

I'm not surprised that being a night owl is linked to higher intelligence. I'm teaching English in China at one of the top universities in our province and my two top English classes are currently discussing sleep schedules. I surveyed both groups today and there was a VERY strong night owl majority. My 2pm class had 3 morning larks and 13 night owls. My 4pm class had 0 morning larks and 18 night owls. One might expect some bias because these are afternoon classes, but it's important to note that the students are all first year students and don't have any control over their class schedules. I also have an 8:30am and 10:30am class, but I didn't survey them because they're using a different book and discussing a different topic, but most of them hate having to attend morning classes just as much as I hate having to teach in the morning.

You know it makes sense now, in the nights I'm in libraries or school buildings and I'm all amped to study thinking I'll retain it the moment I go home, only to completely crash the moment I reach home, every time! Friends also made this correlation known to me. I guess driving in the dark in a long commute really takes it out of you and rather adjusts you for sleep. I've caught the elves on the shelf of my dilemma thank you! I won't try to fight it anymore.

I don't know which type I am, but on vacation, my sleep scedule tends to jump to 12pm to 2am Mornings cause me a little stress about being late but that sense of hurry gets me up since I am really bad at waking up I am really good at estimating time on my morning routine which takes about 20-30 minutes with 4-10 minutes eating breakfast I cannot really blame anyone that I have to always hurry to get in places I need on public transport but I can chill out luckily when I get there I want to really see beautiful summer mornings with my car melatonin is proven really helpful for me to adjust my schedule personally
