Night time is quiet, no loud talking downstairs, no annoying kids yelling outside, mostly no sirens, less cars = less noise, good time to calm down and think about stuff… stuff like weird philosophical questions and questioning if reality is real, also browsing the web in silence, looking for my next [youtube video / film / tv / anime] to watch.
It’s like 6:30 AM here lolz.
I was born at 5pm, so I like to think this is why I’m more active at night and lethargic during the day. I never have a problem staying up unless I do a lot of physical activity. I also occasionally take naps in the middle of the day, feeling like I didn’t get enough sleep at night and I’m trying to top myself off.
Besides, it’s so nice and peaceful at night. Kids are asleep, no outside noise, I can hear my tinnitus clear as the Byzantine bells. I can focus on my work without distraction. Hello darkness, my old friend.
Not sure there’s any scientific basis behind the time of day a person is born and their preferred wakefulness hours in later life, but hey maybe it’s the case in some circumstances.
Not so in mine. I was a morning birth, but my preferred rising time for as long as I’ve had a choice has always been closer to noon. 10am is my 6am, you might say.
I would not be surprised if there’s a genetic link. One of my parents is also a late riser (at least, preferentially), and I’ve inherited that.
There is a genetic link…some of us carry Neanderthal genes that predispose us to certain patterns.
