You may have thought you were an evening person, but perhaps you’ve discovered here that you’re not.
People tend to have a fatalistic attitude when it comes to their circadian rhythms, particularly when they don’t have an accurate read of what their circadian rhythm actually is. Follow the principles of effective time management and you won’t be so pressured and far behind. The further behind they get at work, the more midnight oil they have to burn for more nights. People who stay up past their preferred bedtime to finish the work they didn’t get done during the day are only adding to their woes. Organize your time during your waking hours.If all else fails, you may have to take the more radical action of moving to a quieter living situation. You can also ask the noisy people to stop being so noisy, citing health reasons. If you’re stuck in a noisy environment that you can’t control, get yourself a good set of ear protectors or headphones that play white noise. My students tell me that they would love to go to sleep earlier, but the paper-thin dorm walls make it impossible. Escape the source of loud noise from your night-owl friends.When you’re tired, go to bed, even if your friends think you’re being lame. Don’t feel that you have to be pressured to stay up late to avoid looking like a social loser. You may actually be more of a morning person than you think you are. Living with neighbors, partners, and roommates who like to burn the midnight oil can cause anyone to become an evening person by default. Uncover your hidden morning-person self.But I am aggressive in that I know when I work best and I am an angry den mother towards myself in making sure I am working during those hours.

There have been several times when I was going to bed as she was getting up.” While this has limited their shared awake time, “Over 21 years we've both accepted that I'm not great in the morning and want to talk as little as possible, and that she feels like she's crawling out of her skin if it's past her bedtime and the show's not over yet but she wants to see the finale.” Lark and author Kevin Smokler is very aware of his predilection to the extent that he tries “like hell to not fall backwards into that self-righteous view us morning people fall back into so easily about how getting up earlier makes us better people than people who don't. “ Andrea has always been a morning person and is best before noon. “I've always been a late night person it's when I'm most creative and ideas come,” he says. Jeff Sharp, on the other hand, is an unrepentant night person married to a lark. We may adapt, but we don’t change our stripes. Scientists have found “nearly 80 genes associated with 'morningness' and 'eveningness,’” which is mind-blowing. “Around 10 per cent of people qualify as morning people or larks, and a further 20 per cent are night owls-with the rest of us falling somewhere in between,” writes Linda Geddes for New Scientist. This designation is your chronotype, and most people are kind of a mix, known as a “hummingbird,” but we don’t talk about them as much because humanity and blog posts cleave to the extremes. All of this makes me an “owl”-someone who’s alert at night and goes to bed long after dark-as opposed to a “lark”-one of those early to bed, early to rise types.
I definitely feel pretty foggy when I wake up, until I’ve had my requisite coffee(s). Still, I admit to enjoying a midnight lights-out time on the reg, and in wilder moments, not sleeping until 2 or 3 or 5 a.m. It might be that I’m simply a bed person, for which, given the world around us, I could not be blamed.
