[...]

"a lot of morning people will try to convince you that being a morning person is the only way to be successful, centered, balanced, etc. it's not. be an evening or nighttime person if you need to be. you can cultivate a life/schedule that allows for it.

[...]

"i'm always glad to see morning people discovering routines that work for them. i want afternoon, evening, and nighttime people to have the same experience. everyone should have such ease and satisfaction, but we live in a culture that only encourages us to be early risers.

[...]

"i want everyone to have the ability to structure their day with the ease and confidence that many naturally early risers do, even in the midst of cultural messaging that says having an unconventional, later schedule is nothing more than 'laziness' or 'disorder.'"

Yep. The way the world is structured around people whose metabolisms or bodies function differently in specific ways isn't talked about enough. As in "society is structured around early risers," which intersects with disability, neurodiversity, and mental health but is not precisely the same thing. Or "society is structured around people who either don't get periods, or get very light periods," which intersects with gender and disability but is also not precisely the same thing.

Yeah. I wonder how dangerous the existing structure has been to my health, and for how long.

I've just changed jobs and now work 7 on 7 off overnights, and I think this schedule might actually agree with me more than first shift, but the world is set up for first shift! I think ideally second shift would work really well with my rhythm, but I'd never see my kids because that's not how school is structured. I don't like having to get up early. My daughter is already kind of the same. She is about to start middle school and we're all pretty happy that the middle school bus doesn't leave until a half hour after the elementary school one does. We think that schedule will agree with her more.

The morning people who have told me they are the most productive in the morning tend to do so as they are nodding off after their third cup of coffee...

What if I told you that you could be a morning person... and not tell everyone about it? Wow! What a concept! Nope, not an Onion article!
