"Night owl" sleep preference is a real thing and isn't a choice (being largely genetic). Night owls forced to obey a daytime schedule suffer from what researchers call "social jet lag" because it constantly feels like they're living in the wrong time zone. Here's a 3-minute AsapSCIENCE video with more details for anyone interested.
Night owls exist, I know because I’m one.
But this guy is full of shit. Friends rarely want to hang out at 10 am. Afternoon? Sure. Evening? Bet on it. But 10 am? Not so often. And if they do they know it’s early for you because they’re your friend.
Classes at 10 am? Goodness me, you poor soul. Every 9 -5 wageslave will shed a tear for you. (Yeah, I know. I’d prefer classes in the afternoon too.)
Meet your Gf for lunch instead, or go with her on the weekends a bit later.
And yeah. Fishing is often early in the morning. Make an exception for your friend or don’t go.
Society sucks demanding from people to be crisp and sharp at 8am. But I have a feeling we have some guy here, who likes to play vidiya games all night long and wants present himself as the victim.
What’s even the point of a virgin GF? Is this some bizarre “look but don’t touch” fetish?
Morning people and extroverts have no idea there's anyone else.
I solved this by working nights. Get in the habit of staying up until morning. Then you're used to being awake at those times mentioned in the OP.
Interestingly, waking up on a pleasant warm afternoon mitigates some of the ick of waking up after insufficient sleep. Waking up at 5am to go somewhere sounds like torture. Waking up at 5pm to go somewhere is a piece of cake. You'd think your body would feel the same, if it got the same amount of sleep, but it doesn't. The ick goes away on a nights schedule.
Try turning your phone TV and computer off when the sun goes down. I'm not saying insomnia isn't a thing. But if you're just sitting in the dark or reading a book or something that doesn't have bright stimulating lights you have a much better chance to fall asleep.
