Fuck yeah I am, now get out of bed, we’re gonna be on the trail by dawn
“We ride at dawn bitches!”
Gentlemen to bed, for we rise at 8:30 for 9!

Wait about 12-13 years, and you won’t be able to get them out of bed before noon.

This comment is too real. I like mornings but not at 4:00 AM. Meanwhile, my toddler: “If I don’t sleep, no one sleeps.”
I like 4 AM, perfect bedtime.
The winddown before sleep is nice, it’s so peaceful outside.
(Currently at a 5.30am bedtime.)
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.
I will not be oppressed by your linear constructs!

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.
Somehow in my house I wind up being the morning person AND the night owl.
That’s called insomnia.
If you stay up late enough you can be both
And you can get it all over with much sooner since you’ll probably die of heart disease at 45.
I hate this joke and I’m going to address it seriously.
The majority of us sleep and wake at similar hours. If someone feels like sleeping only at 2:00 or 3:00 a.m., they are probably not a night person, there might be something wrong (e.g., too much caffeine, major depression). People who naturally feel the need to sleep extremely early or extremely late are rare.
Now, same bell curve logic, most people have a not-too-early and not-to-late natural clock. ‘Early birds’ and ‘night owls’ are also not the norm. The so-called morning people who naturally wake up at 7:00 a.m. or earlier and sleep early too are not only in the minority but also impacted by all the night lights, night life, “important ceremonies are at night”, etc. As students, many cannot go to sleep early because of homework, practices or activities in the dormitories. We are all affected by unrealistic schedules, especially people in demanding fields (e.g. medical field). This is why we have normalized taking stimulants.
Lastly, I need to say it, a lot of gamers think they are night people because they like to stay awake playing videogames. That’s not how circadian clocks work. I understand the quiet and freedom of nighttime, but that’s not necessarily our biological preference. When we are adults, we ought to find what our bodies need and provide it because our health (and future quality of life) depends on it. I’m giving this advice because it’s advice I would’ve liked to hear when I was younger.
Back to the meme, blaming the morning people is, again (we do it in many debates), shifting the blame from capitalism and a culture of “we need to do all the things, at all hours, cities that don’t sleep” to a group of people that’s not the 1%.
Sounds like morning people apologist talk
Fr. This is big morning propaganda.
Me sneaking into the sleeping room to not wake up my wife who has already been sleeping for 3 hours.
vs
My wife yelling “get out of the bed, it’s already 9am!” in the morning.
I’m both you and your wife. I sneak into the sleeping room and I yell that it’s time to get up.
I made a dhampir in pathfinder based on several truths about me and one of them was that I abhor direct sunlight.
Recently my therapist:
Look at you! You used to work night shifts and now you’re working at 5 am!
Me:
Yes, nothing changed. I just don’t want to work near people. So I do what I can to minimize that.
Mate I love starting work at 6 AM. Being able to finish work before the early afternoon and having both the post-lunch rush over, pre-rush-hour on the highways, and almost all establishments empty is such a blessing. It’s a major life change from working third shift.
The only good thing about third shift was being drunk at 8am convincing yourself it’s normal because 8am is your night time.
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.

Thank you internet psychiatrist, glad I could read your insensitive comment about an illness you know nothing about
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.
