FacelikeapotatoNight owls and early birds
xantoninA sleep scientist/professor named Matt Walker has a podcast about, you guessed it, sleep. He talks about this and how it’s very unfair to people who are biologically programmed to get tired later.
He goes on to describe scientific proof of the effect this has on their sleep and the impact to their health. It’s sad really, but his hope is to raise awareness and acceptance of the night owl’s schedule.
That’s insane. He’s literally saying “early bird gets the worm” is true and we should punish the early bird. When the obvious solution is to set your damn alarm earlier.
FranklinAdapting a system to suit more people when an exclusively suits you will always feel like oppression. In reality it is letting others in order privilege that you already enjoy
They system already adapted by creating electricity and alarm clocks, and for the night owls, night shifts.
Night shifts are the only night owl specific concession and society as a whole of very much does not run like that. Flexible work schedules are the outlier by a wide margin.
Still glad to see it improving
