Whose bright idea was it to give the morning people enough power to set the "business hours" anyways‽

  I’m pretty sure that the morning people Venn circle has a shitload of overlap with the kind of people who are both neurotic control freaks and lacking in empathy and are thus vastly overrepresented in positions of authority to begin with.

  Then once they got into power, they enforced their preferences to the point that it’s now a prerequisite for power, which makes it even more likely to be perpetuated and so on and so forth until everyone whose sleep patterns don’t naturally conform simply die several years earlier due to all the added stress and poor health decisions required to adapt.

    I think they’re just a vocal minority in that group. I know plenty of chill daywalkers

      Seems like you misunderstood what I meant: I’m not saying that most morning people are neurotic control freaks who lack empathy.

      I’m saying that most neurotic control freaks who lack empathy, a small proportion of the population which is EXTREMELY overrepresented in positions of authority, are also morning people

      So yeah, seems we’re in agreement about daywalkers in general 😁

  We would have stopped them but the planning meeting was at 9am.

  Humans evolved and adapted to wake up when the sun rise

  And then of course after checking the alarm you find yourself back on Lemmy…

  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.

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

    Yea I do, it’s time us night owls rose up!

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

    Why not?

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

  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
