MODERATORS
Step 1) Exit Puberty
Step 2) Have a real socio-economic incentive to get up at 6am.
Step 3) Stop drinking caffeine after 4pm. Stop drinking booze after 8pm. (Stop drinking booze entirely, even)
Step 4) Gene Therapy
Step 5) Find out if you snore. If you're snoring, you're not going to get enough sleep during the night, which will make you groggy af in the early morning.
Step 6) At 6am, when your alarm clock goes off, it helps if you really, really, really need to pee.
Some people are just genetically nocturnal. I had one grandparent who was early to bed. Everyone else in my family is somewhere between 12 and 2 am. As we get older we seem to need less and less sleep though. By 70, my nan was averaging 4 hours. Up to bed at 1, up a 5am to teach her 6am colege classes.
My other grandma slept 3x 2 hour bouts thought the day my whole life. 2hr nap around lunch, another after dinner, then shed be up til 2am, and 'go to bed' just to be back up around 4am. I think that had somwthing to do with her living most her life off the grid and having a wood stove got heat her whole life.
I have a little theory for why that is. I think back when we were tribes, having a certain percentage of the population be comfortable staying awake during the night helped protect us from other animals during the night.
But then why are we not seeing people who genuinely like to go to bed at 8 pm and wake up at 3 am for the 2nd shift?
I genuinely like going to bed at like 11am to noon and getting up around 7pm to 9pm. Sadly there's not a lot of career advancement in the jobs that hire for those hours, and I've got student loans to pay.
I see you've not met my partner's father
