    This is really about habits. I used to be a night owl, but changed my habits gradually and now I’m a morning person. You might have some genetic predisposition towards staying up late, but even so this is something that you can change, I believe.

    What helped me, is that I started enjoying waking up early a lot more than staying up late.

      As an extreme “owl”, I’m also on that journey, although it remains a struggle. What helped me a lot is to set an alarm in the evening to trigger my evening routine without depending on my internal sense of time. My preference is still different, hence the struggle, but my body accommodated to the routine fairly quickly.

    I never used to be a morning person, but honestly I prefer it this way now. I want to have the work done before my free time, and I want my free time to have as much daytime as possible. Following my current working hours has me awake when the sun is up, which personally gives me way more energy than doing stuff in the dark. I’d love to wake up later, but honestly that just wastes a nice part of daytime. You can train your body to maintain a schedule like this and then any other one will feel weird.

    I got myself an alarm clock last August and I can really recommend it. No more phone in the bedroom

    Common sense. You don’t want the bank to start working at 14:00

        Rise! We protected the group from wild animals for centuries as they slept! We allowed them to sleep peacefully, without fear.

        Because they surely won’t work until midnight and 4-6 hours of active work time isn’t enough.

          But that’s based on the existing thought that we should be functioning from 8am to 5pm for work. If it started later we could easily end later.

            No. Ever heard about the Sun? That fucking lantern in the sky? Pay attention to it. It is important.

              I would, but some idiot decided that we need time zones instead of actual sun time. Then another idiot thought it was a good idea to take on the time from another time zone for cooperation and business. Then the biggest idiot of all figured daylight saving time was the best thing ever. So now we’re two hours or of sync with the sun and now everyone is constantly jet lagged except for some early risers.
