Hot take: as a true natural morning person, society is hostile to us too. I wake up early without wanting to and have a productive window from about 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. That means that by the time I get to work, I've pretty much used up my energy for the day and am starting to feel tired, and it's a long slide down to exhaustion by late afternoon. The most productive I've ever been was a period where I was able to go to my job at 6:30 a.m. and had a few hours to work uninterrupted and then mostly coast the rest of the day before leaving around 3:00-3:30 p.m.

My girlfriend is a night owl, and sure, she struggles to get going through the morning, but by the end of the day, she typically has a surge of energy and is able to get some work done and then enjoy the evening, while I turn into a full zombie. Beyond work, try getting a group of your friends to hang out at 8:00 a.m. Pretty much all social events take place in the evening and night, when us morning people are fighting off sleep and struggling to stay invested.

Sorry for the rant, but the assumption that society is built around morning people has bothered me for a while. It's really intended for "day people." What we really need is truly flexible working hours that can be adapted for everyone's natural schedule.

Thanks for your rant. As a night owl I've only ever thought of things from my own perspective. It's really nice to learn from the other side, even if I'd never agree to an 8 AM hangout

I’m a morning guy. My buddy is a night guy. We often have 8AM hangs after he’s done work if I’m not working. We can bridge the worlds!
