I fundamentally disagree (on a social level). Social dance mfers don't even start until 9:30PM, most people rock up at 10:30PM

This some oppressive shit if you want to be up at 7 if that's your body clock.

I want to sleep hombre.

I want to be up with the sun friend.

Where are my 6PM socials. Hurt.

Yep morning people oppression probably stunted my growth. Starting classes in high school at 8:15 was horrendous, I basically spend the entire day as a zombie. Didn't matter if I slept on a regular time schedule I always felt tired.

That's true for most teenagers, what time you get up is as dependent on age as anything.

People see staying up late as a moral failing and feel that it's their job to guilt trip anyone who sleeps in as lazy and wasting the day away.

People see morning people as industrious and morally superior and don't criticize them for their preferred sleeping habits. At worst they get some ribbing for not being able to stay away for new years, but it's seen as understandable and a more pious lifestyle.

So... Yeah. Morning people wingeing in the comments here can fight me, I'll meet you at 10 o. Clock tonight outside.

I am now 58 years old and something happened and I wake up at 6 in the morning every day for 6 months, if I have to get up or not. I was never a morning person, but now I am and I have no explanation for it. I like it, but I try to not bother others with it.

That is what happens to old people, I guess.

Yeah there’s a reason retirement homes serve breakfast at like 5AM and dinner by like 5PM. As you get older, your circadian rhythm tends to drift more towards waking and sleeping early.

I'm not a morning person, but my dog is which forces me to be awake between 6 and 7 am every day. I just have to roll with it and start my day cause fuck it I'm up.

Interestingly, I became a morning person after a couple of years of being gently woken up by my cats around 7am, not with loud meowing. Now, I just enjoy waking up at that time every day, even on weekends.

Meanwhile my cat doesn't make a peep till he hears me wake up (scrolling youtube or something), then starts screaming like his life depended on it. Love being able to sleep in, no idea how / why he learned to do that. I just assume he is a total bro, like at everything else he does.

Figures that I don't like to go to bed late, I just like to be up the hours after midnight. Oh how the tables have turned.

Where do I fit in? Being a night person since I'm working graveyard shifts. I go to sleep at noon and get up to work at 8pm.

I wake up at 8 everyday even on weekend with a headache and a sore body. I don't want to wake up at 8, but I have the body of a 80 years old.

Am I a morning person?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's just when your rhythm wakes you. Put up some blackouts (and put in some high quality earplugs), go to bed later, and it'd be 11 easy enough.

Not if you live with chronic pain it won't. He clearly does, and a lot of people do for a multitude of reasons.
