Depends on how you classify a morning person. I know plenty of people who would prefer not to be awake until 10 AM. Regardless of a job they just don't enjoy being up early. I enjoy being up early, although my body tends to disagree. I started a job that starts at 6 AM now. It's nice to be up and have most of the work day done by 12. Also awesome to wake up at 6 or 7 on a weekend and have that much more time to get everything done and enjoy the day

Look at mister fancy pants and his sleeping until 6am on the weekends. Why are you so lazy? You should keep the momentum from the week going get the chores done early.

by Savings_Scene 2 days ago

Man I don't even remember what it's like to wake up and it's light outside sleeping till 8-830 would be a miracle. I just keep the same schedule all week 830 bed 330 wake up. I don't start work until 630 but with daily chores drive time and morning walks it's pretty full. Yep can't do the outside stuff that early but you can do the inside stuff then just chill until it's time for the outside things then you have the rest of the day.

by Savings_Scene 2 days ago

But you dont have more time because you have to go to bed earlier. Youre done at noon but no one else is and you have to go to bed super early when all the fun is happening. I have had way way way more fun during the late hours than I have during the morning hours. No idea why I like my early job so much. I still cannot go to bed earlier, though, so i just get by on less sleep (i never feel more rested when I sleep 7 or 8 hours anyway). I couldn't imagine liking mornings more and missing out on the evening. Kudos to you guys.

by Imaginary_Abies 2 days ago

I got to sleep at the same time no matter what though is the catch. 5 am? 12:30 sleep. 10 am? 12:30 sleep.

Ah. Same. Even more impressive that you enjoy the mornings lol.

by Imaginary_Abies 2 days ago

I don't understand the logic of the last sentence. if you go to bed at 8 pm and wake up at 4 am, you have 16 hours to get everything done. If I go to bed at 2 am and wake up at 10 am, I also have 16 hours to get everything done. Waking up early doesn't give you more time in the day.

by Anonymous 2 days ago

I got to sleep at 12 and wake up at 6 though

by Anonymous 2 days ago

not more hours but usually more sunlight hours! which is helpful for those of us who can't see in the dark anymore :( and more time during business hours

by CockroachCold9594 2 days ago

Where I am, the stores open at 5 am are the same ones open at midnight, and most stores are open 10 am to between 7 pm and 10 pm, so that is kind of a moot point. I can't see in the dark and need more sunlight is a very specific edge case.

by Anonymous 2 days ago

The real secret Big Night doesn't want you to know is it's actually VERY satisfying to wake up super super early. Like getting up at 5am lets you do some hobbies and chores before work, when you actually have energy. I used to think I was a night owl until I started waking up at 6am (early relative to when my job starts) to feed my dog and then just staying awake instead of going to bed. You also get a nice buffer in case you wake up tired. I could sleep in up to 1.5 hours if needed.

I cannot enjoy anything as much when work is just around the corner. It feels like I am on call and cannot fully commit to enjoyment. It pales in comparison to the freedom of knowing the work day is behind me and the rest of the day is mine to enjoy and stay up late.

So I'm a nightowl who aggressively agrees, but it's worth saying the business world is morning oriented. Social life is generally evening and night oriented. If OP's lonely, that makes sense. If people are up early, it's to get ready for work, not bond.

by Useful-Process-849 2 days ago

I actually complain often about the odd office day when I'm expected to fit more into what I consider to not be a morning-person-friendly 9-5. Waking up at 3am and waiting for hours to start work, and then hitting a wall at 2-3pm and needing to grind out another few hours? Horrible. WFH has been a dream. Start by 6am, finished by 2pm.

Marshy is totally right. Everything revolves around morning times and early risers. In an ideal world, I'd work from 10 to 7 instead of 8 to 5. I literally don't function well before 10, but I have to be up, have the baby ready, and at daycare by 7:30, just to drive very sleep to work. So dumb. Let me sleep!!

Why does it suck? You start work in the morning, don't you? So that works for you...combined with the fact that you look forward to the working week...if anything, it sucks not to be a morning person (unless you work night shift...and that comes with other issues; nothing is open, you can't socialise normally, you miss out on events etc.). Then it sucks harder when you don't actually look forward to the working week because you'd rather be home with your kids or just doing anything else. So...being a morning person in a world that's tailored towards 8-4 or 9-5 seems...ideal. What's the complaint again?

Non morning people are missing out. The days feel longer when you wake up early, and in my opinion you feel more refreshed throughout the day. I worked nights for a bit and naturally started waking up/sleeping later than normal, and I felt awful the entire time. Just got back into waking up early and I don't think I could go back

Not for me. Doesn't matter when or how long I sleep. My body will not wake up and be fully functional until after 11 AM. Doesn't matter if I wake up at 5 AM for 3 years straight and sleep for 8 hours. If I wake up at 5 or 6 in the morning im groggy and tired and will be for most of the day. If I sleep for 4 hours and wake up at 11 am or after? Im well rested and ready to go. My body also has a natural sleep cycle of about 3 or 4 hours and then once every few weeks I have to sleep for about 16 hours and then it resets. My body is naturally active during night hours. I. Awake and full of energy at 1 AM regardless of what time I slept or not. I have to make myself go to sleep at night which isn't hard since im also the type that can go to sleep at any point in time if I want to. Doesn't matter how much sleep I got or anything. If I want to sleep, my body will sleep. Some people are not morning people and their bodies do not let them be.

I love the night because everything is quiet and the other people are asleep so no one wants something from me and I can relax. Mornings are so rushed and it's the worst time to have to rush! I'm half asleep for the first hour after I wake up.

by Some_Recording 1 day ago

I am a morning person and the isolation is part of why I like it. As a huge extrovert I rarely get time for myself. Which is great, for me anyway, but I think the reason I can be this way is because I get up at 5 or 6 every day and enjoy my own company in the morning. Have coffee, do my hair and makeup, scroll the internet, etc and do it all with ZERO rush. Starting the day peacefully before the chaos of my job really helps me. Don't tell people how nice mornings can be! It's a secret!! 🤫

I don't mind Mondays. I like my job. ☺️ I always say I'm a night owl with kids and a job in a school. I also bartend so I'm all over the place. I am learning to not hate mornings so much at 50 but I would still rather be up late than get up early.

I'm a morning person. I'm around, but how do you find me 🤷‍♂️ I also work from home (unfortunately, in this case, I love the early coffee and commute), enjoy my job, and don't live in a city to even know if people at a coffee shop would chat. I say the last part because it's like the introverts and non-drunks at the bar. To find those people, you need to talk to the most miserable looking alone people at the bar. I feel like you need to find the happiest looking person in a morning-themed place lol

I'm not a morning person lol doesnt seem to matter what time I go to bed, if I have to wake up early, I'm gonna be exhausted, I don't make the rules. Also… I promise you, that whatever chores or whatever you think you're having more time to get done in the morning before work, I have that time too, my time is just shifted forward lol like I still wake up a few hours before I go to work… I just don't get up at 5/6 am like a nerd lol on that same note, I'd like to add that people often say they're more productive in the mornings, I promise you, I'm NOT more productive that early in the morning. I'm a freaking zombie until like noon. Also, my productivity level doesnt really change depending on the time of day. Even if I get home from work at like midnight, I'm prolly gonna be awake till like 4 am. Whatever I would have done after work at 4/5 pm, I'll still do at midnight (either way I'm prolly just coming home and watching tv/playing video games/working on some project). I think what a lot of morning/day people don't understand is that night people live the same lives as day people, we just live them at a different time lol I feel like most day people think, but aren't you tired that late at night? No? Cuz I slept in till noon lol I'm still getting my 7-8 hrs, I just get em from 4-12. You're only tired that late at night because by then, you'd have been awake for over 16 hours, which is like, the limit for most people. And then you have people who talk about like, going to the store or running errands or appointments. Do those on my days off, and I do them in the afternoon, and honestly I don't even go to the store, I have stuff delivered to my house, so I can order groceries the night before, and have them delivered before I go to work the next day. Or if I'm off that day, have em delivered in the afternoon/evening whenever I'll be home. Honestly, the only real annoying thing about being a night person is that after like 10 pm, if you want to order food/get food, your options are like, Taco Bell and pizza places lol
