- There is a lot of advice out there about how to get the best night of sleep. But the fact that you can't sleep might not be your fault. It turns out, night owls have an internal clock that functions differently. Forcing them to wake up early could have serious health consequences.

Following is a transcript of the video:
There is plenty of advice for how to improve your sleep. Go to bed at the same time. Avoid digital screens after dark. And don’t hit snooze. But it all comes down to the same assumption: That YOU’RE doing something wrong. When, in fact, it may not be your fault, at all.
Inside practically every organism on Earth there’s a clock that keeps order. Known as the circadian rhythm. For humans, it’s located in the part of our brains called the hypothalamus. And while it’s most famous for controlling our sleep cycles… it’s also responsible for helping primary organs like the brain, heart, and lungs, work in harmony. But not everyone’s circadian rhythm is the same. Night owls, for instance, generally feel tired later than early birds. Often because they produce high amounts of the sleep hormone, melatonin, later at night.
And for most of human history that didn’t matter - since night owls could protect their tribes from nocturnal predators or their cities from cunning conquerors - but society has MADE it a problem in recent decades. An estimated 80% of Americans follow daily schedules that fall between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Yet, nearly a third of the population considers themselves night owls. Which means they’d be better off with a schedule that looks more like this. This phenomenon is called social jetlag. It’s like the jetlag you feel after a long plane trip… but worse because it doesn’t disappear after a few days.
And social jetlag is taking its toll on night owls of the world. Because, even if you get the recommended amount of sleep… knocking your circadian rhythm out of whack has consequences. For example, one study found that for every hour your circadian rhythm is out of syn …your risk of obesity increases by 33%. Also increasing your risk of the many health complications associated with obesity. And the problem isn’t just a physical one. In another study, people whose circadian rhythms were more than 2 hours off… reported notably more severe symptoms of depression.
And since your circadian rhythm tends to shift as you age… social jetlag is especially apparent in teens. In fact, the CDC warns that most public schools across America start too early, before 8:30. Which, according to the nonprofit “Rand Corporation,” is costing the country $9 billion a year from mainly lost academic performance and car crashes from tired teens behind the wheel. Luckily, the circadian rhythm isn’t set in stone. Turns out, it’s largely triggered by light signals that strike your eye. So, when you first wake up, get outside and soak up some morning sun… or if that’s out of the question, make sure your home is well lit. It might just brighten your morning a little more. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Waking early is a constant struggle every day, same as going to bed early. My preferred time is waking up around 10AM and going to bed at 2AM. I just feel more alive and creative at night.
i personally tend to wake up around 11 to noon and go to bed around 3-4am
Im with ya all the way! I used to edit travel videos when I was unemployed, usually began around 9-09:30pm and could easily sit with my projects til 2am. But after jumping between a couple of jobs that've been 7/8-4 schedules, my creative drive is just gone. Man I cant wait til late August when my employment ends to feel alive again!
I make games in my spare time, my power zone for development is from about 5pm till 2am...in that zone it will take 1-2 shots to get something right, the math is simple, everything makes sense. Out of that zone i'm wondering "wtf was i thinking last night?" and "why does this work again?".
In the mean time i have to do my day job(i now make meat smallgoods) which requires a 4:30 am wake up, so i spend my days walking around in a haze working in default/automatic mode that's just enough thought to get the job done, then come the weekend i'm excited to go back to awake mode only to need to reset again sunday for mondays work.
This is legit me. Either 2 am-10 am, or occasionally 1 am-9 am (usually if I did a lot the day before so I’m extra tired).
YES! THANK YOU
I love how for most of human history, us night owls served as excellent guards and watchmen, whether the threat was animals or people. Now we are scrutinised by society… thanks guys…
The society we guarded weren't, and aren't worth it.
And today we're the ones who are responsible for keeping nightclubs and late night talk show hosts in business.
Absolutely
My great-grandfather was the last night guard in his hometown. Back in the days when being a night owl was a useful skill and not a symptom of a sleeping disorder...
We were the ones that weren’t afraid of the dark.
I tried changing my sleep schedule to go to bed at 10 pm and wake up at 6 am, even during weekends, and I managed to keep it for 6 months. I felt constantly tired despite getting around 7-8 hours of sleep. After my summer break started, it took me less than a week to naturally change my sleep schedule back to going to bed at 2-3 am and waking up at around 10-11 am. I’m sure stress and other stuff are factors too, but I feel way more refreshed and energized every day when I wake up late. I feel genuinely motivated to do things like working out and learn new skills/improve my skills. Working out felt like a chore when waking up early, now it’s enjoyable. Everything just feels better and less tiring.
Completely agree, waking up early feels like you just gotta get through the day but a late start just feels mint
10-11 is pretty good actually!
Agreed on all accounts. Also, I notice that even if it means not getting enough sleep I still almost always feel more refreshed in the morning after staying up super late.
Same. My natural wake-up is about 9am. If I have to get up earlier than that for a sustained time, I need to use all my energy that day just trying not to fall asleep again.
@@lornarettig3215how later are you going to sleep?
My husband is quite clearly a night owl, while I'm quite clearly an early bird. It gets a bit challenging sometimes, because at night, when he's feeling more active is when I start to shut down completely. It has positives too though. I wake up early and can have those few minutes of peace and quiet when I tidy up the house and listen to the silence. I get to wake him up every day with caresses and kisses and see him get drowsy the next minute. Very cute.
Guessing you don’t have kids or you wouldn’t think it’s so cute 😂 but that’s nice, good that you make it a positive thing

What happens when a night owl wakes up early: we go back to sleep
@Pugazhan Sathyamurthy correct
actually early morning is like midnight for us
Facts
@@simsweirdo7991 Wrong. I sleep in class
Correct
Theres still discrimination against non early birds. Some treat them as lazy. But some people just have their most productive hours late at night, and not early in the morning.
The worst part is when you find yourself addicted to stimulants and caffeine just to adapt, before you realize that its just your time schedule. They take their toll
That's meeee

Absolutely. The top comment made by the user Jobin has a lot of replies from a user called Creapaul Cog who basically does exactly that.
US thanks for saying this,finally someone who understands night owls!
Thank You. Finally someone that gets it.
😁👍👏👏👏👏
Interesting side info: It looks like things such as high intelligence and also things like ADHD are sometimes associated to being a night owl. One reason: The night is overall less loaded with distractions, interruptions and the sensory load is lower. That facilitates the process of introspection and pondering. Particularly to us ADHD people, lower sensory load and low risk of stuff like phone calls and social inquiries are super helpful. Plus Dr.K from HealthyGamer explained there's a chemical component of it, too, that I cannot explain as well as he did. But the gist of it is, that we have a certain range in which "doing stuff" is possible and when we start to ge tired, that's when our ability to function gets more. Which makes a great load of sense to me, cause my brain is racing to the point I'm not doing stuff, so once it's a little bit tired and slows down, I get to function cause that is out of the way XD.
That makes so much sense… I always felt smth like that, but it was always hard to put into words.
Well, not that my family and the rest of the world would listen anyways, they just prefer to think of my ADD ass as lazy :)))))
Delusional copes 🤡. All you are is chronically online and addicted to virtual screens.
Funny when you ask all of these “night owls” what they actually do during the night it’s never things like reading a book or sports. There’s always a common denominator…
And it so happens that it’s the ONE thing that stops melatonin production…
Gee, I guess it means nothing, I’m just born like that 🤡. If I’m obese it’s because of my metabolism! I did nothing wrong! Also even if i did being obese means high iq (it was revealed to me in a dream)
another thing to put on the “mom i think i have add” list 💀
having high intelligence doesn't equal making good use of it though, or keeping it longterm by the right life habits...What seems a good thing may actually be bad, such as chronic stress/ unknown burnout.
Maybe that explains why I think about writing a 7 part novel series every evening
Finding out that I actually am not just a nightowl, but that the reason for that also has a name: Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome has done miracles for me. My entire life, I felt like there was something wrong with me, as I like to stay up until the early morning houts, and only get up when most people are having lunch... But when I heard about DSPS, and that it is actually a 'thing', it felt like a load fell off my shoulders. So many people have this, and it is not 'wrong' as they tried to convince me. I am also more productive and creative late at night, so I am very greatful also that I am my own boss and can live by my own rythm. It took a while for my friends and family to 'accept' my lifestyle, but they got used to it, and now they know it is part of me. For all you fellow DSPS out there! Hang in there, now you 'know', life will be so much better!
Hard for me to agree with the nomenclature because it’s “delayed” in comparison to the “normal” people who turn out to be Early Birds. But, that’s what the while world has decided to call it
i guess i have that cause in summer break i go to sleep at 5am and wake up at 12 am
I despise waking up early. I hate when people try to shame you for not waking up at 6:00 in the morning like that's normal. Some people are just vampires ok
I feel your pain.
Yess
I never want to be conscious during those ugly morning hours. They repulse me.
I am okay with it sometimes, but for those days when I do wake up early, I find myself simply feeling bored, there is nothing to really do where I live, and I just prefer the afternoon.
I have school so I have to be forced to wake up at 6:00
so basically in conclusion ill just end up fat and depressed
Jessica Lee I already ended up like that :'3.
#Prayforowls
Apparently :( this explains a lot of my life
I think I laughed at this more than I should have
No just adjust schedule accordingly
Jessica Lee same.. i mean i was sad but now fat too?!
I have been a night owl my whole life and it sucks that society tries to force us to go against our natural circadian rhythm. I'm far more alert and focused at night and that's when my creativity is at an all-time high. For years I've forced myself to get up early for school/work and it only leaves me exhausted and unable to accomplish anything. I also can't fall asleep early because my body simply refuses, doesn't matter how exhausted I am the second I try to go to bed too early my body says "nope, you're not allowed to sleep right now" and thus I am forced to toss and turn all night. I hate the mornings and wish I could just work the schedule that fits with my natural circadian rhythm but alas unless I become a millionaire or somehow become my own boss it ain't gonna happen.
"body simply refuses, doesn't matter how exhausted" - Yup feel you there. Racing brain literally prevents me from sleeping between 11pm (set in stone) and 2am (at the very least, if not 5am or later)
Doesn't matter if I've taken sleeping pills, if I've only gotten 3 hours of sleep in the past 36 hours, or if I genuinely feel tired right around 8pm or 10pm and try to get to sleep. That brain just PINGS me up at 11pm. lol
I kept wondering why I did my best work at night, like when I’m drawing or writing. I feel like I can concentrate better, think better, I get more ideas. I keep finding myself still feeling awake until 1 or 2 am. I can force myself asleep earlier and had to with school for a long time, though I was always tired and it can be tricky.
I love how the latest it goes for the night owls in this case is till 1am. it’s very much not the case for me since I tend to go to bed at 3-4am and wake up at 12-1 pm since my body still needs a full 8 hours.
IKR!
I saw that and was thinking "honey that's a mid-day owl".
I start to get tired around 3 and wake up at 11-12 area
that is, if i get tired at all. My body likes to run on a 14 on, 12 off schedule. it... doesn't add up to 24 hours...
ikr!!! i cant sleep before 2 am unless i did tiring activites the whole day.. i sleep at like 3-5 am and wake up at 12 pm to 2 pm
Because most people can't even try to keep up with the sort of schedule you have. I'm guessing you can do that because you're either still in school or a freelancer.
@@bosmer3836 ah, that makes sense lol. I’m about to go back to school so yea
I go to bed at 5am and wake up at 1pm. I thought 1am is bang in the middle between late and early?

I always had to get up at 6 for school and it was miserable. I could barely stay awake all day or pay attention to anything, I'm honestly surprised I didn't get yelled at for not paying attention or (almost) falling asleep in class. Felt like I was always behind and I was always missing things. When I got home around 4 though I sprang to life and became completely wired and full of energy the rest of the day, and that persisted when it was time to go to sleep. It usually took me forever to fall asleep and I always hated having to go to bed because I'd just be laying there wide awake waiting to eventually fall asleep. Then again comes morning and I can barely get out of bed because I'm completely zombified once again, always feeling like garbage as long as I'm at school
Not sure if it's because I'm a night owl, being forced to sleep and wake up much earlier than I should be, or I just really hate school so much that the thought of school saps all my energy, and getting out of school fills me with renewed vigor. Probably the second option. Either way once I was out of school and could sleep whenever I want, I magically felt 1000 times better and stopped hating life. funny how miserable school is and almost everyone hates it, yet the school system thinks it's fine and depression builds character or something
It was probably a bit of both. I'm happy you're now enjoying life more my friend ♥️
You explained how I felt with my 8th grade schedule. My routine went from waking up at 5AM to catch the bus at 5:30 since I was the first to get picked up and last to get dropped off at home at 5PM. I felt like a zombie, 12 hours a day, stuck in an endless routine. When I'd get home, it's straight to the xbox until 11pm-12am. I don't miss it. I'm glad I lived 2 miles from my high school after graduating from middle school.
There is a reason I usually have something caffeinated in the morning during the school year. If I don't bring it from home I get a Pepsi from the vending machine
Literally same! I used to drive everyone crazy with all my yawning, teachers actually would yell at me for yawning. Normalize night school but for everyone else not just people in college!

Honestly night time robbery just sounds incredibly impracticable. They’d either be asleep or awake which can both equally cause issues for you. Just monitor the home a few days and recognize what times no one is home.

I have been working on figuring out my day time fatigue for years. This is the first time I’ve heard it referred to as jet lag, it’s totally how it feels. If I could choose my own schedule I’d sleep 1am to 10am. Work 12-8pm, and then stay in and get shit done. But you know… kids, work, life. I plan to live my ideal schedule in retirement. Or at least until my kids can get themselves sorted in the morning. Which is about 10 years away lol
guess i’ll die
I swear we watch the exact same videos
Hopefully.

Wtf it's 12:12 right now.
As my mum always said: eat when you are hungry and same goes for sleeping when you are tired and waking when your body wants to naturally without being forced.
Unfortunately it is very difficult to explain that you simply can't live a normal life when you get up early to most people who just think that a night owl can adapt. No matter how much I tried I have always felt like being drunk when I get up in the morning. I need to get up at 10 o'clock at the earliest.
I thought night owls sleep at around 3am onwards, 1am is still too early for me
There are different kinds of night owls. For example, I'm entirely nocturnal. I fall asleep around 6am. We have more diversity in our weirdness
I was thinking that example schedule looked weird. It was only an hour off the morning birds.
9am is still too early unless I have to be somewhere.
@@BonaparteBardithion looks about perfect to me. But that's me.
For real.... I’m like, these are normal

night owl here, its very much a sensory thing for me, since i really prefer darker, more isolated spaces 10-2 at night is usually my favorite part of the day bc its usually the only time where i dont get sorta overloaded with everything going on around me
not saying that i dont like talking to people, its more like i like to introspect/relax and thats nearly impossible for me with another person making noise in the background
it's so good to fall asleep at 3-4 am. i remember trying going against the rythms, i couldn't sleep and i felt the blood pressure really high. i stayed awake to wake up at 6 am and go out at 9 am, but next day after i did that schedule, i woke up at 2 am and felt sleepy at 4 am. in the end i returned to the same cycle.
With me, I can spend weeks changing my sleep schedule to wake up in the morning, and then give me 1-2 days of staying up late, and my body is literally back to sleeping through the morning.
That sounds like my relationship to coffee.
YUUUUP!!!
Mhm. Same story. And people will give you crap for it like you just didn't try hard enough. No, literally your body just won't let you work like that. You just won't naturally start waking up at 6 and want to.
Same omg why
4mo of 5a wakeups, struggled every morning but it was a little easier as time went on. 2w into COVID and walking up before 8:30 was jarring.
But us night owls are just lazy! -_- alright EBs, let's work at 12a and see how well YOU do.
This explains why I feel way more active and motivated later. But sadly when I'm about to do something produktive... It's time to sleep. What kinda bullshitery is that
Miss Starstruck ikr
Same...:(
I literally feel like doing everything that I've been procrastinating at night.... which I never can because everything's closed. FML.
Same!
ikr its bullshit!
Thank you for verifying that your circadian rhythm shifts as you age because I've always been a night owl but as I'm reaching my mid 30s I can't stay awake as late anymore and I find myself waking up earlier than expected
i like being awake at the morning, i love the cold sunlight and how the air smells, but for me it's almost impossible to wake up early or going to sleep early. ive always been like this bc i clearly remember feeling the same as a child. if i need to go somewhere very early in the morning it's far easier for me to just stay awake through the night, go do the errand and sleep all evening
The night owl schedule is still way too early for me
This.
It's 12:30am here..Just about to sit at my kitchen table to do some drawing. the world is nice and quiet now, and i feel most creative at night.
My solution has been only accepting to work eveningshifts (starts 3pm) and explain why. Worked pretty well up until i quit my last job recently..
😂😂
I sleep at 11AM, wake up at 7PM and repeat. Am I the most extreme night owl in existence?!!
idk whats with yall morning birds and night owls but im permanently exhausted no matter what time of day it is
@@sternkrieger1950 You're essentially doing the very opposite of going to sleep around midnight and waking up around 6-9 in the morning. You are the very definition of a night owl my friend.

Kri Bu same, I try to close my eyes and sleep but I just can’t. I end up staring at the ceiling until I get tired.
Same. Kind of. During summer break I usually go to sleep between 2-3 AM, because I'm usually on my phone or reading. Sometimes I can't fall asleep and I'm awake until almost 5 AM and it sucks. It makes me so angry which makes it even harder to fall asleep.
Kri Bu same but I have to wake up for school at 7 so I can get ready in time
same
Axrty same
They just wanna give night owls the big L, people like me really dispise waking up in the morning, theres nothing with that
I find that when I'm on a night schedule I'm more energetic and alert. When I was Navy, I would always volunteer mid-watches or the 2nd/3rd shift. Even Navy some schools I went to had optional night classes which was very nice.
I'm a night owl and I thank the heavens every day that I am currently able to be self employed. I go to bed and wake up when I want and feel 1000x healthier and less depressed than when I was forced to wake up for a 8-4 job every day for 10 years of my life.. Leaving corporate life did wonders for my appetite and metabolism as well.
It is one of my deepest hopes that all of you will be able to find work that can accommodate your bodily rhythm and overall health.. Because sadly, our society is designed to kill you just as much as it is designed to help you.
Dante Redgrave I’m a night owl currently in school still, and it really doesn’t help at all. I work a lot better during the evenings and gain motivation and ideas to do things and think “Okay, I’ll do this after school or in the morning.” Then I wake up an hour or so before school to get ready, don’t get enough time, feel drowsy at school, don’t work as best I do at night, get home and instantly want to sleep. I’m hoping that when I can, I’ll try to get or find a good job that works with my best working hours and sleep schedule and work up to that. I’d rather be happy and feel like I’m not even doing work than stress about it so much just to have the money.
right decision.
What's your business?
I can relate to that. I'm a night owl too and I also got tired working in the corporate world I'm so relieved that I can manage my own time even tho I didn't find a job when I left I also discovered my passion and I turned it into a business. It's not that big but I'm more happier.

I have been a night owl since middle school. It was such a struggle to keep awake during the day but it is so relaxing to stay awake at night. It just felt natural to me and it still does. I feel more creative and productive at night then I do in the day. Even when I try to fix my sleep schedule to wake up in the day, I get so sleepy unable to stay awake. Or even just sleep a few hours in the night and wake up before midnight and unable to sleep again. It’s a struggle since “life” is supposed to be in the day and sleep for the night but I just can’t get myself to stay awake in the day. And I know some people will say go exercise or you need sun but I have tried that for weeks and still. It drives me insane because my family won’t leave me alone about it.
You’re not alone. We are simply night owls living in a morning persons world

Relatable. You’re not alone
I’ve worked an early bird full time career for two years, I get two weeks off work and BOOM, within 5 days I’m naturally going to bed at 4am-2pm 😅
Which was my routine before this job, as I worked late afternoon shifts, I was able to work around my natural routine perfectly (I started work at 6-8pm)
I’m such a night owl lol. My whole life staying up has never been an issue. I used to not be a morning person, but I’ve started to adapt more to a schedule.
1:02 if you go to bed at 11:30pm you're not a night owl really
D84 Yeah, you're probably normal if you do :/
11:30pm is amateur, that or I'm worse off than I thought.
Normal person goes to bed 10-11pm, so 11:30 for night owl makes no sense. More like 2am or later, lol
lel, try 1-3 am
go to sleep
The last thing I want in the morning is more light in my face
As I have gotten older, my eyes are very light sensitive when I first wake up and takes like 15 minutes or maybe more to adjust. I think my eyes swell and pupils dilate and stop working properly until I've fully woken up. I used to be able to fix that almost immediately by just opening the window and inhaling cool fresh air, but now in my 40s, nothing really works. Drinking something cold helps a little.
Light is the sun's cum, close your eyes and accept it

I'm a heavy night owl and always have been. Even in elementary school getting to sleep before midnight was hard. As an adult being able to work a job that fits my best hours is awesome. I go to sleep when most people are waking up.
I did work a job that I had to get up at 5am and it was torture. Went back to a night job and the only reason I feel tired is the long hours.
This has been knows for years but nothing changes.
We need more flexibility and accept other sleeping types. I hate that only people who get up early are seen as hard-working and people who get up late are seen as lazy even though they do the same or even more at night.
I am definitely a night owl 🦉
This is exactly what I need.
My parents won't ever understand that my brain works best at night, they are so done with my "lazy ass" sleeping away till noon.
Angi Natrila omg same!! No one ever understands unless they are also a night owl.
Same here! When I was still living at home, my mum knew I'd go to sleep between 4-6am and would STILL wake me up between 7-8am and wonder why I always felt completely destroyed during the day. Did she have a reason to wake me up that early? No, she just did it to nag me before she left for work. This was just after I'd finished university and was looking for a job so I'd spend my days sleeping while she wasn't home and playing video games while she was asleep lol
gravyz2cute4u Okay but if you stay up playing video games and that's why you wake up late, I don't think they're wrong to call you lazy lol
I would still get everything done that I needed to do, I just like to relax once I'm done by playing video games. Just because I play video games doesn't mean I'm lazy.
I was mostly joking, but that's a good point :)
If I could, I'd go to sleep after 4am every night and wake up in the afternoon.
That happens to me-
Lmaooo same.
No man, I’ve been doing it now for almost 2 weeks. I feel like I have no goal in life.
I would sleep 10 am to 6 pm, perfect por me
I do this🤣
Night owls don't feel tired at 11:30 PM LOL. More like 7AM, dude.
This is one of the many reasons I’m pursuing a career in nursing. I’ve been a night owl for as long as I can remember and I struggle to wake up early for a traditional 9-5. Most days, I can stay up until 3 or 4am. I can’t WAIT to start working night shifts 😊💯
I am most productive at night tbh. Parents call be unresponsible, i know its partly to blame because my unhealthy youtube addiction. But I've always been a night owl from very young.
Pryxtel me too. My most productive hours are from 4-8 or 9 pm.
Pryxtel
YT is fun, interesting, and the music is great-from all over the world. But you aren't doing yourself any favors being tethered to it. You sleep/ live much better if you get out and get fresh air & exercise. Life on a computer really is bad for health, and it will catch up with you!
My most productive times are between 5 am(the time I usually wake up) to 9 pm(9pm is the usual time I'll sleep but sometimes I'll either sleep whenever I feel like I want to sleep.) I'm not a night owl or an early bird... also same! My parents blames youtube because I just don't want to sleep without getting my hands on my cellphone...
Pryxtel Same
Pryxtel same my most productive hours are 2-5 am and i live off very little sleep according to everyone else. I normally sleep from 5-8/9 am which is enough for me.
I've been a night owl since I was about 9 years old, and I'm 31 now. Forcing myself to go to bed between 9pm and 11pm has always been super tough for me, and, even if I manage to fall asleep and stay asleep for 8-9 hours, I feel terrible the next day.
If I go to bed between 11pm and 1am, even if I only get 5-6 hours of sleep, I wake up feeling great, completely refreshed. But, because I prefer to sleep about 7-9 hours and that means waking up between 8am and 10am, people call me lazy because I'm waking up later than others.
I hate that it's so hard to live like a normal person (waking up between 5am and 7am to make it to work or school on time), and, when I go against my natural circadian rhythm to wake up at these times in order to function in the rest of society, I'm so sluggish that people think I'm a ditz.
It's crazy to think how much just a couple hours out of sync can effect all other aspects of normal living. Thankfully I'm not depressed or anything, but it's frustrating. Coffee helps no matter what though lol
Beatriz Haddad Ordones the coffee thing is honestly the most reliable method I've found to adapt and function, so until I finish up my degree and can land a career that can sync with my body's natural circadian rhythm (or somehow make a proper living from my hobbies of writing and illustration, both fine pursuits for a night owl), it'll have to do for now.
I've basically delegated myself to the reality that if I wanna sleep well, I can't work a normal 9-5 gig or maintain a typical school schedule. If I want to get shit done and have a normal life while also caring for my son (I'm also a single mom), I just have to take the hit to my mental and physical health by going against my circadian rhythm and use coffee to fill in the gaps.
Plus I read somewhere coffee is good for preventing cancer or something, so there's that lol
Scott Telting I've been travelling between the USA and Europe for the past 2-3 years (8-9 hour time difference), nursed my infant son when he was a newborn every 2-3 hours for months at a stretch, and have had several full-time jobs ranging in schedules from 3pm to midnight (which was absolutely perfect for me), to doing clinical credit hours at a hospice for my nursing degree that varied from 3am to 3pm and 6am to noon one day and 11am to 6pm the next.
I don't think I'll ever get a regular sleep schedule unless I give up everything and wind up as some kind of eccentric billionaire living on a remote island.
Coffee = decent compromise for existing as a non-billionaire night owl living in an early bird's world 😂
ThePurpleMenace There are very few times I have fallen asleep before 10pm within the last year. All of my friends in school fall asleep 8-9pm, but for me, it's usually 10-12pm. And that's only on school days.
ThePurpleMenace same but im in middle school
@ThePurpleMenace Oh my god I know your struggle! You have described my sleep schedule perfectly. I definitely don’t have anything against early birds but they sure love to look down upon us with hubris.
I have been a night owl as long as I can remember and for all my years raising kids and working, I spent so much time tired and cranky but did the best I could. It was such a relief to finally be able to retire and wake up and go to sleep whenever I wanted.
I briefly had a job where I had to work overnight shifts. It was my first time, working from 9:30pm-6am and holy crap was it absolutely wonderful!
It took my body no adjustment whatsoever to get used to that schedule. I was full of energy most of the night, feeling very creative and active, and I was just starting to feel tired around 5am, which is (not) coincidentally the toughest time for me to get up. I got home around 6:20am and had the best sleep of my life.
0:08 "and don't hit snooze" So, just turn off your alarm and continue your slumber.
Precisely. I know they want us to get up instead of pressing "snooze", but *we're pressing it for a reason.* There have been times when having multiple alarms in the same hour have saved me because I thought _for sure_ I was about to get up, not realizing my eyes were still closed as I made that decision. Within 10 seconds, I was asleep again before I even realized. Thankfully, the next alarm woke me up, made me realize I had somehow fallen asleep again, and made me panic enough at the time to wake me up just enough to get me out of bed. "Snooze" is the only good thing about an alarm...
Kirsti 💜 Yes! Exactly.
I've actually missed school far too many times as I've turned off my alarm completely and then fallen back asleep and woken up way later so that I'd have no way to get to school on time.
I just throw my phone out of the window and order a new one for the next day.
Finally! I've tried to live like "everybody else". Go up early, work and sleep. But that lifestyle has made me depressed AND unproductive. When I've made my own hours I always start working later and I've been waaayy more productive! I'm 30 now and understands that it's not a routine I have to get used to, cause it have NEVER worked! I have to listen to my body! And NOW I just learned the medical reasons why too, here. Thanks! ❤️
Lisette Alfredsson The whole early bird thing applies to schools, which sucks. Catching the bus isn't necessary, but it's somehow highly encouraged. And so, I force myself to wake up at 5:50 am.
Luftwaffle ™️ Yeah, that sucks! 😢
Lisette Alfredsson You make it sound like you just realized why you had 7 arms and everyone else didnt.
Glow The feels a little bit like that, Yeah. Haha
Lisette Alfredsson You're very dramatic, then, good for you I guess.
Lock down was one of the best times in my life. Finally I could be free to sleep and wake when I wanted for months. One day I woke up at 6:30pm- it was Fantastic! 🎉🤸🏾♀️🎉
I’ve always been a night owl. Even when i was a kid. I struggled severely getting up for school because no matter what I try, I cannot sleep before 1am. I even developed a slight sleeping pill habit at one time just so I can make myself go to bed early and get 8 hours of sleep. Now, I just go without and average about 4-5 hours of sleep each night. It’s getting harder and harder 😣
Why can’t they just start school at 9 am then life would be better
Kailey Sullivan not really my school starts at 9:00 am but im still late alot😳
It's not that much better, trust me
Aisling Keogh or is it?
Agreement signed
Ehem my school starts at 6:45 AM but we all wake up at least at 4:00 AM
I'm a night owl and being in school and getting up early was such a struggle for me. I felt sluggish, overwhelmed and got sick a lot. In my free time I just wanted to do nothing Now I work night shift and I feel fit, happy and healthy, and spend my free time being rather productive.
Im a nightshift worker by choice too, I spend the down time on the nightshift organising my weekly Planner, to do lists and writing my budget out. When I was a student I used to write my essays and revision during the down time on the nightshift. Even on my nights off I clean my house, catch up with laundry and tidy my little boys room. I am literally like a zombie during the day!! I cant sleep at night and even when I do I still dont feel 100% during the day. I plan appointments for late afternoon and for parcels to go to a friends house. Us night owls need to adapt in small ways 🤔
I wish I could work at night too...
Especially when the clock hits 22 pm I feel super energetic and creative, I can work until 3 am, but no, my school force me to wake up at 5am. 2 hours of sleep is obviously not enough. I have to sleep early, but I still always feel tired and unmotivated. Thanks, society.
awesome to hear that this is possible!!
Same for me, I love night shift and I don't ever want to go back to days. Being awake during the day is HIGHLY overrated. :)
In high school I spent the first period half asleep, and I got C-B average grades and wasn’t ambitious in choosing classes. Later I went to community college and I had better control over when my classes started, so I started class often between 10 A.M to 1 P.M and my grades shot up to As, after that I was able to transfer to a prestigious 4-year university, but being a transfer student puts you at certain disadvantages when getting opportunities to work with professors.
Also little tip for sleeping in general.
If possible try to wake up from natural light, i slept in my aunt's house for a week and woke up like 3 hours earlier in then morning every day but woke up significantly less groggy
I’ve always been a night owl in a family of all morning birds. Even as a kid I’d wake up at 9AM (shockingly late I know) and my sisters who woke up at 6AM would relentlessly tease me and call me lazy for waking up at 9AM. Now I want to wake up early, but I just can’t. If I go to sleep at a normal time, I’ll wake up within 3 hours and feel perfectly rested. I’ll often feel motivated to get things done and energized for the next few hours then I’ll go back to sleep and wake up at about 9AM. I had to wake up at 6AM for school as a teen and it was completely miserable because even without a nap I was unable to go to bed before midnight. There was just no melatonin flowing and melatonin supplements make me super lightheaded instead of sleepy. If my school didn’t start at 7AM I probably wouldn’t have been such a miserable kid lmaoo
Watching this at 6:03 am. I have been laying in bed for the past 3 hours,and I'm still not tired enough to fall asleep. Circadian rhythm disorder sucks...
It's not a disorder. You're fine, assuming you've always been that way. Society is just dumb
Lol. I work nights. I have change over. So it sucks I only got like 4 hours of sleep. Better than no sleep.
@@ItsTylesOrSomething I know right. It's insomnia.. when your body clock is off.. It's not really normal or healthy to go to sleep that early in the morning as a young kid though.
Just work out, eat right, and make yourself wake up at a certain time.
Slash Le Pew I've had that twice in the past idk 2-3 months. Can't sleep until 7AM and when I do finally force myself to sleep I get told off for waking up too late because my mum thinks I've been on my phone all night...
School starting too early? Damn straight! I've known that since I was in at least the 10th grade, when my entire class was given a new period in the day *before* homeroom! It was practically killing me, and this realization was in 1990!
Nick Hentschel : Nothing has changed
Nope im in 6th grade and guess what? School starts at 7:30 AM. I'm a night owl and I would have to wake up at 5:30 or 6 AM and it's way too early. Things never change.
I'm in 7th grade, but the schedule is exactly the same as you said and it's so hard to stay up. I'm just thankful that we don't start school for a while.
& in asia , school starts at like 7:30am meaning that we have to wake up at 5-6am js to reach school before 7:30 am, if not we have detention :’) and i always fall asleep at 1am so i have 5 hrs a sleep each day & get scolded for looking sleeping :’’ yikes
Nick Hentschel I went to school most of my life starting at 12pm and it was perfectly fine, we all got to sleep. When I moved to the states during high school, it was torture.
I knew there wasn't anything wrong with me. People would ask me why I'd go to sleep so late, I would tell them because I couldn't. I've worked in bars, DJ-ING, and such to take advantage of the time. Thank you for the informative video. 🙏👏
I always thought there was something wrong with my organs...turns out that my night owl body just probably isn't ready to digest breakfast at 7 am
Where's my squad that sleeps at 4 am
yep
Unintelligent piece of Human I used to be that or later but like they said things change with age...I wake up early though I don't always stay up. The ideal sleep hours for us our between 10pm-2am. I've noticed this lately.
Right here!
I sleep at t am
Here lol
soon as i get out of high school you better believe i’m going to be sleeping during the day and awake at night. i don’t do daylight . during the summer, that’s my sleep schedule.
Todomo enjoy that while it lasts. Once you start working it's all over.
Moody Patootie FALSE
Not every job requires you to get up in the morning.
Mystic Brush Most do. Sorry.
BlackGrapes idk it really depends on your job, especially in germany. But then again, most companies here are very flexible with their work time, so there is still a chance i suppose
Also same, i go to sleep at 5 am and sleep all day xD
Im an absolute night owl as well. I can only get sleepy at around 2:30 AM and need to sleep 'til around 11:30. If that works out I wake up with such a perfect mood, I feel completely refreshed and have lots and lots of energy for my day. I often work on university stuff in the evening or at night, I feel very productive during this time. I am very glad that my courses start rather late at the day so I can still keep that sleep schedule but I am worried for later when I will have to work - though my field seems to be a bit more lenient when it comes designing your own work hours luckily, in all my student jobs I was able to start rather late (compared to the norm) and work until later in the evening too, that worked out perfectly and I was very productive.
i recently got prescribed a medication that was supposed to "fix" my circadian rhythm. now, after a couple months, my sleep schedule couldn't be worse. it's so inconsistent and it's making me even more tired all the time than i used to be when i just forced myself wake early. I'm realizing now that no medication is going to change the fact that I'm not built for mornings. i shouldn't be forced to f up my life for the sake of early bird society
Now i can explain why i sleep at 3:00 am
To save 9 billion?
3am? Soft...I'm watching this video at 6.40am and I'll probably sleep at 7

Prasad Kharat me too 😖
I sleep when the sun rises and wake up when the sun sets
I have a habit of wanting to clean/organize, work, cook etc. at "un-godly" hours like 1 AM and 3 AM. Just yesterday, I felt too tired to do anything all day and then when it hit 12 AM, I suddenly felt the need to start organizing my bookshelf. There was this burst of energy, which I often get most nights. There are times when I'm wide awake in bed wanting to get up and do the laundry or get some work done. I thought it was just terrible sleeping habits, while people around me just called it procrastination and laziness, but I guess everybody was wrong.
aaDramatic Silence Me too! I'm usually tired or unmotivated all day and just want to read or watch TH-cam, but come "bed time", I suddenly get motivated and want to do stuff. I've always been this way.
SAMEEEEEEEE
aaDramatic Silence - OMG I’m not crazy! Same happens to me
Same lmao I started baking a cake at 2 am xD
This is EXACTLY me!! We are the same person!!
I'm a nightowl. Figured it out in high school. Spent most of my 20s on night shift where I belong and was happy. My 30s were spent suffering on days. Always exhausted, growly, and irritable. No wonder I couldn't last more than 2 years at a job. Back on nights now in my mid-40s, and happy again.
When I was in grades 2 through 4, we had double sessions - morning classes and afternoon classes - to accommodate kids from another school that had burned down or something. I had afternoon classes in grades 2 and 4 and those were the happiest years of my life! I would watch reruns of I love Lucy and the Brady Bunch, leave for the bus stop around 10 a.m. and get home at 6 p.m., just in time for dinner. it was awesome, I loved it!
This is me 100%. I always feel dead during the day and alive at night no matter how much sleep I get.
Me too. I'm just just not productive at work in mornings. People say it's just because I go to bed late. No it doesn't work like that. I'd often be lying there wide awake when my girlfriend was asleep.
I used to get incredibly depressed and angry when I had to wake up at 6am to go to work. I switched to a night shift and now I feel good.
just stop working then.
Fiona Gregory
nice joke
I'm extremely sensitive to cold weather, which causes me to be a night owl because it's colder in the morning and I can't leave my bed to get anything done. I'm so thankful to be able to choose studying in the afternoon for most of my life, because every day waking up before 9:30am is just painful to me. In fact, it's 4:30am as I'm typing this; I'm a teenager and I'm enjoying my last days staying up late before getting a job. Wish me luck
I work nights and feel so much happier living life at night. Even though I enjoy the sun I don't enjoy the company of people outside of my family. And most of my fellow truckers that I've spoken to feel much the same way. I'm not anti-social I just get drained very easily interacting with people for too long. I'm an introvert, and I find the chaos of daylight hours too much at times. Night is so peaceful and serene.
*My Sleep Schedule*
It's 4am.
I've been up since 11am.
I'm going to sleep now.
I'll probably wake up at 11am.
Same bruh, except i sleep at 5am and wake up at 12pm and then repeat.
2 pm*
7 hours is a lot for me so that sounds pretty nice.
same and sometimes i sleep at like 5 am and wake up when at like lunch time
I live in a college dorm with classes that start(ed) around noon every day. My schedule has been like this for months:
Go to sleep after the sun rises (about 4 hours)
Wake up and go to class(es), then eat a big meal at like 3-5pm (since I only eat one proper meal a day because the dining hall isn't open when I'm awake)
Go back to dorm and crash until 9pm
Be up until the sun rises again
It's currently almost 6am, I've been watching TH-cam (as you can see), and I have a final exam in 4 hours. What am I doing and why?????
Lmfao I could not have been the only one that looked at 1:40 and went, "Is this not what everybody's schedule looks like?"
I go to bed at 12 and wake up at *_4AM_* feeling refreshed
I looked at that schedule and thought it was the "morning bird" schedule
vessessa me wtf Mine is sleep inn until 9-11 am
sleep: 3:00 am - 1 pm
breakfast: 2 pm - 2:15 pm
work: I don't work it's summerbreak
lunch: I eat when I want to
work: I don't workkk
and rest of the day youtube
Jason Yu When i was in college it was like this and great. But im starting to have the troubles they described now that im on a normal company schedule.
Watching this at 3am lol. Also that schedule was right on point haha
I have always been what I've dubbed a "split sleep"-er; I sleep in two smaller chunks (4 hours here, 4 hours there, up for the rest) instead of one large chunk (over night). I'm not sure where it started or why, but ever since I started it in HS, I've never been happier.
I usually sleep somewhere close to 3am-7am and loosely 6pm-10pm. My daughter has school from 8am-3pm and bed by 8pm, my ex works 5am-5pm.
It works with my work schedule and daughters school schedule (her dad watches her for the evening sleep), I get stuff done while everyone else is asleep, I feel more calm and can take my time.
I don't want to directly associate it with my ADHD, but I specifically feel more... "in tune" with myself? I get time to myself, work on my own things at my pace, not overstimulated, do things I've been putting off during the day, etc.
There's a calm to the "the whole city is asleep" vibe I get in the middle of the night. I can't explain it.
Night Owls are lazy or "broken," we just work different haha.
(Also, I know I'm not technically a night owl since I split sleep, but i feel the best in the middle of the night.)

It'd be way better to have school at 9:30 AM than 7:20. People wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning to prepare and some didn't get enough sleep. It's unhealthy for everyone except early birds. I'm a damn night owl.

Always been a night owl, and it became necessary after my sensitivity to sunlight became more prominent, especially in my eyes where i cant tolerate bright light as it gives me headaches or forces me to sleep. Can also get 2nd degree sunburn after an hour. Have worked jobs and shifts which require early starts, and it kills me. I work night shift now (3 years), and i dont have to set an alarm to wake up anymore. I will never be a day person, and im in my mid 30’s.
I'm a definite night owl. Getting up early stresses me out. When I have to get up before 10, usually every week for church, I crash out on the couch as soon as I get back and sleep for hours.😴
I almost cried at how perfect the schedule at 1:40 is
Paulo Soares Same :,)
me too
Same
still too early for me LOL
Except the time from wake-up to work is half an hour 😂
3am im bumping to music cleaning the house, doing laundry, watching Tv. Ive been like this since I was born, and no point in changing it
This couldn’t be more true the only problem is when this happens for me I always am anxious of waking someone up
We’re being forced because jobs wants us there by 9am smh. I hate it.
I can 100% relate
I go go sleep at 7am and when I get a job I would have night shift which is like 2 years but still have to worry about school ig
"STOP MAKING NOICE!"
I CANT!!!!
I use to work 4pm to 12pm
Now I work 4:20pm to 3:30am now. I gained 40 lbs and use to run up to 7 miles a day on top of working out. I knew it wasn't just my motivation. Feels like I haven't been feeding my soul anything last two years. I can feel the difference mentally. It really does feel like I lost apart of what made me happy. Even if I didn't notice for a couple months
I think it's good to figure out exactly what your clock is.
I assumed I was a night owl for a pretty long time, staying up well past midnight on my computer, playing games alone or with other night owl friends. I laughed at the idea of getting up early every day and proclaimed the calm of night to be the best time of the day, since the world was mostly asleep. If I *did* get up early, I was wrecked. Barely functional. A big problem since I had a job that started at 7am half the week. I was wrecked all the time. I used to have nights where I couldn't sleep because I knew I had to be up soon, and the pressure kept me awake.
One day when I was around 30 I flew home from a trip where I'd gotten used to the local time (several zones away). When I got back the 8-9am wakeup I was enjoying overseas became 4-5am. I found the early morning to be a strangely enjoyable time (even more peaceful than the late night, with the slowly awakening birds and the sunrise) and decided not to adjust back to the local time. I've been living that way for almost a decade now - early to bed, early to rise. 9pm-4-5am is an ideal night for me. It was a massive improvement almost overnight. I'm tired by 9, go to bed with *ample* time to get a full night's sleep, and wake up several hours before I need to leave for work. I don't have to rush through the morning routine. I enjoy a leisurely breakfast and have time to go for a walk, prepare for the day and even get in some gaming.
It turns out I was a morning person and just never allowed myself to experience that lifestyle properly so I could find out. It's great never having trouble falling asleep anymore. I *hated* tossing and turning, mentally beating myself up for not falling asleep when I had to be up in 4 hours. If by chance my night's sleep wasn't great, I can sleep in for an hour or two without it affecting my schedule.
I think everyone who is convinced they aren't a morning person should try it during a week or two off from work - they might be surprised. Or, if it doesn't work, then they know for sure and can hopefully be motivated to adjust their lifestyle to be night-compatible.
I treid i give up, i like the morning but than i sleep the whole afternoon, the evening is also peachfull, so i go back from 23:45 to 09:45

I am a night owl, and I remember when I became one. When I was in kindergarten, I used to love the morning. But something changed after I started school, and as I progressed to higher grade levels, it became very clear to me that I was a night owl. School, then college, and then work became hell on Earth because my body was just not timed to get up early. And even when I was exhausted, when I went to bed early in order to catch up on sleep, I was the most awake I had been all day. I eventually developed severe depression and panic attacks to the point that I could no longer work, and that has been a difficult circumstance as well.
2:33 The difference in sleep schedule is so relatable. I am a night owl, while my mother is an early bird. She tends to sleep between 10-11pm, and I sleep between 11pm-12am. I used to be able to sleep the same time as my mother when I was a kid, but now shifted later at night. I had to wake up at 5 am during weekdays, which is so exhausting and makes me slightly sleep deprived 😔
I noticed being a night owl ever since a kid! Anyone realize this? It all makes sense now. Super energized at night and most productive and creative then 😎
but during the day ure useless
Yep, i knew i was a night owl when i was a teenager. I’ve just accepted it & usually work 12 hour night shifts. If i end up having to work earlier for whatever reason, i get super depressed when the alarms goes off at th ungodly hour of 5:30am. No thanks. That’s my bedtime on off days
since i was a baby my mother told me i get so energized at night and so sleepy and quite noon . the exact opposite of my sister and till now i cant fall asleep until its 2-3am . but at least i got no problem with this
Ever since I was a kid I've always loved staying up and wake up a bit later. It made me shorter but, I'm a girl, so it doesn't matter. :p

I have always been a night owl. I stopped taking naps when I was three, but would secretly play with my toys in bed after being put to bed. In middle school, I would stay up for hours writing or reading. My high school started classes at 7:45 and I was always nodding off in my first two classes of the day.
Even as an adult, 4 days a week I go to work at 11am, which works great; but Saturdays I have to be to work at 7am and I cannot function for the first few hours.
This explains a lot about myself, thanks!
It is NOT TRUE that you can just adjust your circadian rhythm. I tried to fight my natural biology my entire life. I'm now 50 years old & STILL feel more awake late at night. It is rare that I go to sleep before 2am and I can sleep soundly in a room flooded with light. I've never had a weight problem - always been thin. I'm pretty happy with my life & not depressed at all. I hate that the world revolves around wake-at-dawn schedules, why can't a 24-hr economy adjust to those of us who prefer to work at night? I'm done trying to fight my biology for this archaic schedule in the age of the Internet when anything can get done at any time of day or night! :D
To get overweight you first need the genes for it honestly. If a person was thin their entire life and their whole family is thin it's very unlikely that this person will have weight problems.
@@Nekoszowa I was responding to the video stating that for every hour your circadian rhythm is out of sync, you have a 33% higher chance of obesity. The statistic obviously doesn't take into account multiple other factors (such as genetics) & I just wanted to assure other night owls that obesity & depression don't automatically pile on just because you have a different sleep schedule.
Thanks, old timer!
