Are you nocturnal?

Post Reply New Topic

I am...I'm a nightowl...If I don't pay attention, I slip into the nightowl phase very easily, then I have to painstakingly control my sleep schedule and bring myself back to normal rhythm....If I get a 9 to 5 job maybe it will be better...I need to go get a life...

Yep, it's very easy for my life to slip into- 'up all night, sleep all day' phase, it feels more natural then being awake during the day. I really ought to find a night job.

I am, but my classes are not. Getting only Tuesday and Thursday classes helps, since I can sleep closer to "normally" on all days but Monday and Wednesday. Unfortunately, I have a test tomorrow, so I'm probably just not going to sleep.

I am quite nocturnal myself. In fact, It's 3:47am where I am right now.

Almost five for me, getting close to bedtime.

Yeah, I'm a terrible nighy owl.

Ohhh yeah! It's 3 AM here. I've been staying up until 6AM and sleeping 'til 6PM.

I'm a nightowl. Also I like night better than day. Daytime is so noisy, filled with people coming and going, trucks meeping or roaring, the blinding sun. Night is quiet, softly lit if at all, and I get a chance to live instead of running away from noise etc.

No, I'm a day person. If I am going to stay up late, I need to drink coffee.

me too.... no matter how much or little sleep i've had the previous night...

i'm cranky slow in the morning and wide awake at night

is why i like my job. no set time to come in in the morning (unless something's scheduled)... long as i get stuff done, i do it whenever i want

I like being awake at night far more than I like being awake in the day-time.

In fact, Saturday & Sunday mean "staying up until 3 in the morning", at which point I feel far more awake and alert than I do at 6am...

I'd prefer to reverse my schedule to avoid light, because I'm a bit sensitive. I think I'd like to sleep from around 8:00 to 16:00, if I could find a way to support myself between 5PM and 7AM.

I love the night life i've got to boogie!

Total night owl...but I was pretty good over Summer when I had no internet... it is the internet that does it for me. I generally don't go to bed til anywhere between 6 and 8am uk time now, although early night tonight as I am seeing someone about aspergers assessment.

Always been night. Except problem two, 26 27 hour days. I heard of studies, French, where people lived deep in caves without clocks. Within a short time all started living near a 26 hour day. I do not remember the exact time, but it seems they all grouped very close.

So everyday I get up two hours later, and every twelve days? complete a cycle. It could be 14, and half a Lunar cycle. Not everyone hears a sundial.

I am a hermit, so most of the time I can be just living.

Some do seem to be Solar time, waking at dawn, like plants.

The world is running on factory time, has been for a hundred years, which like church bells I find unnatural. Besides, the factories have been sent to China. Everyone does have to be there to run a factory, but it has little to do with IT where the job runs 24/7.

We should come up with more ways to look at this. Farmers of old lived a year cycle, intense work at planting and harvest, summer low work and long days, and hibernate for winter.

Factory time put everyone on 9 to 5, all year, the electric era made it possible, and then came an epidemic of cancer. Could it be that natural cycles have something to do with body repair?

As the world moved to two shifts, and I am old enough to remember when all shopping was done by five, or waited to tomorrow, and stayed open on weekends, remember Blue Laws, Thou Shalt not on Sunday, spreading the work load, cancers started declining. As work has moved to the web, with flex time, it has continued to drop. The cure for cancer, rare 200 years ago, is smash the clocks, sleep when you will, work when you will, and live within the cycle of your own body.
