No one gave them too much power. They just woke up early and took it before anyone else could.
But they are seen as more productive because they are on farmers’ hours
No, they’re seen as more productive because they are more productive. Being a night owl means you’re drunk/high and gaming.
A sleep scientist/professor named Matt Walker has a podcast about, you guessed it, sleep. He talks about this and how it’s very unfair to people who are biologically programmed to get tired later.
He goes on to describe scientific proof of the effect this has on their sleep and the impact to their health. It’s sad really, but his hope is to raise awareness and acceptance of the night owl’s schedule.
This is not a shit post, it’s a real issue for many. In Denmark there is a political movement for the rights of non-early birds, called B-Samfundet (B-Society).
Some months ago, I found a video about chronotypes. I don’t know how much of it can be considered scientific, but the websites have some interesting statistics about the number of people that fit in each of the categories. Apparently, only a minority is an early-bird or lion-type or morning-person. It has some associated traits that may explain why that schedule prevails (extraversion, leadership, good health), but it is unhealthy and unproductive for the rest! It’s not okay.
Why is this a shitpost its completely true . People ahould start respecting others opinion
It’s cause the sun is out at 8:30 am and not 8:30 pm.
My sleep schedule is not based on the sun, probably on some random celestial body which moves in very chaotic ways
As an early person I think night owls have it better in some ways, yeah work can start early but if you want to do anything “cool” it’s always late at night. Wish they’d do more daytime concerts and stuff
Oh cool! Daytime concerts in the scorching Sun!
We just call that depression in my world.
