Several decades of chronobiological research have demonstrated that individual sleep–wake preferences, known as chronotypes, are primarily determined by genetic and neurophysiological factors, not personal choice. Studies using dim-light melatonin onset (DLMO) measurements show that individuals with a “delayed sleep phase” experience a natural shift in circadian rhythm, causing melatonin secretion to begin several hours later than in morning-type individuals (Czeisler et al., 1999; Roenneberg et al., 2007). As a result, so-called night owls are biologically predisposed to fall asleep and wake later. When forced to adopt early schedules, they often experience chronic misalignment between internal circadian timing and external social demands—a condition known as social jet lag—which has been linked to impaired cognitive performance, mood disturbances, and metabolic dysregulation.
Despite this evidence, modern work and school systems remain synchronized to the early chronotype, reflecting cultural—not biological—values. The persistent association of early rising with productivity and moral virtue is a historical artifact rooted in industrial-era labor patterns rather than scientific reality. Chronotype diversity is as natural as differences in height or eye color; treating eveningness as a flaw ignores robust physiological variation. In short, night-oriented individuals are not lazy or undisciplined—they are functioning according to their innate circadian biology in a society structured around someone else’s clock.

My favorite are the “I wake up at 4 am and go to sleep by 9 pm” types. Yeah. Good for you. They’re like vegans and people who don’t own TVs.

I'm not a morning person which is why I really hate going to funerals.
