Night owls are unique people. They boast many wonderful benefits as
well as unexpected downsides. It’s hard to co-exist with them if you are
a morning person, and you will never understand their lifestyle and
weird body clock. Even though it’s not healthy to stay up late each
night, night owls do nothing to change their habits. You can find a
night owl accomplishing a project, writing an essay, cooking or cleaning
the house after midnight. They feel awesome during the nighttime, but
have trouble surviving the daytime. It’s a vicious cycle that we
productive night owls don’t notice. Here’s what only night owls can
understand and those who live with them.
1. It’s better to clean the house at midnight
Productive night owls love to live in a clean house so they never go
to bed knowing that they have to do laundry and get rid of dust. Most of
the time, I find thousand excuses not to clean my room during the day,
but then end up washing and dusting after 1 a.m. I’m not lazy. I simply
like to do everything during the night hours.
2. It’s okay to burn the midnight oil
It’s a bad habit. I know it. You know it. All night owls know it. But
what can we do with our body clock? Break it. Reteach it. Maybe, yes.
Do you want it? As a master night owl, I know how it’s hard to become a
morning person. I’ve tried and tested tons of early-bird-tips and now
I’m still a productive night owl that thinks that it’s okay to burn the
midnight oil.
3. The best ideas come after 11 p.m.
You can accomplish as many research and tasks as you can during your
work day but you can’t fall asleep after 11 p.m. because there are so
many ideas and so many energy and desire to do that stuff tonight that
you forget about your bed. You answer emails (actually, everyone thinks
that you suffer from insomnia or workaholism but no one realizes who you
really are), you watch new episodes of your favorite shows, cook
something or simply write a diary.
4. ‘I do much more than you think’
While your parents, friends and coworkers wake up early in the
morning and do tons of things before you get up, it doesn’t mean you do
nothing but sleep in. You already accomplished those tasks when they saw
fantastic or bad dreams, which means there’s a reason why you can’t
wake up early. Nothing strange. Productive night owls have another
habits so obviously they don’t understand morning people. Enjoying a
sunrise isn’t their thing.
5. Early to bed, early to rise? No way!
Even if a night owl will turn off their phone, laptop and television,
they won’t fall asleep earlier than 2 a.m. Suggest them read a book to
relax and help their brain shift into sleep mode. They will spend three
or more hours reading that book. Suggest them practice some yoga poses
for better sleep, be sure they will practice yoga until 3 a.m. No matter
how hard you try, it’s hard to teach a night owl to go to bed before 11
p.m.
6. Sleepy mornings and sluggish days
Productive night owls can’t wake up with a grateful heart and
positive thoughts early in the morning. Moreover, they experience mood
swings every 5 minutes. It seems they hate the daytime. However, once
they see the setting sun, they instantly become energized, positive and
fun. They get a “second wind” before bedtime and are ready to tackle any
task.
7. I’ll go to bed earlier tonight
Honestly, I’ve said it many times and never did it. Regardless of how
exhausted, tired and sleepy a productive night owl is, they won’t fall
asleep earlier than 11 p.m. They turn and twist and take some medicines
or drink alcohol. All these methods are harmful. Changing a body clock
doesn’t happen overnight. It requires baby steps and lots of patience.
8. I can get up early when it’s needed
Night owls aren’t afraid to take responsibilities. If they have to
wake up at 6 a.m., they will do it and survive the whole day without
moaning and crying. Night owls are strong. They control their emotions
and know how to stay productive and energized all day long after a
sleepless night. If there’s a crucial reason, they can remove mountains
and show excellent results.
Night owls face a great number of health issues, but unfortunately,
it doesn’t stop them from staying up late. As a night owl, I know this
struggle. It’s a real war. The only time when I can go to bed earlier is
when I feel sick or depressed. I promise myself to change my body
clock, but the next morning I wake up, procrastinate and everything
begins all over again. If you are a productive night owl, what problems
do you face each day?
