Morning people, in my experience at least, firmly believe that night people are just morning people with insufficient self-discipline.
What’s wild is that you’ll see them get a night job, or have to stay up late on vacation a few times and they’ll be 100/10 miserable af. Never adapt to it, and still keep believing iTs aLl SeLf DiScIpLInE
Well what it ‘proves’ to them is that mankind is supposed to follow the exact same routine that works for them. My Dad was forever saying “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Died when he was 45.
To quote Yakko Warner:
Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy, but socially dead
eh, all my friends go to bed at like 9pm lmao
So do I. Don’t tell anyone.
My dad is still among us, even though I grew up with his take on it, loosely translated:
Early awake, early asleep. That brings health to every weeb.
It’s possible that he already translated it from English (your dad’s saying or an unknown variation of it), and that I’ve now translated it back to English, for each translation moving a bit further away from the original meaning in order to keep it rhyming. (I wrote “weeb” to make it rhyme, my dad’s version said “boy”.)
Was he wealthy or wise?
He didn’t have a ton of money certainly. It’s fair to say he wasn’t a complete idiot but I think that even the example I’ve given so far argues against any claim to sagacity.
I think I had never seen this much upvoted post on kbin. You speak the truth, brother/sister/sibling!
This wasn’t posted on kbin though.
I said upvoted post on kbin. Not posted on kbin. I might be wrong, but I think I see only kbin upvotes and downvotes. Right now I see 6 upvoted and 1 downvote to the post you have replied. How much do you see?
Oh, I wasn’t aware it tallied the votes separately. Interesting and I apologize.
I only see the summary score on my lemmy client, not the amount of down votes and upvotes, but it’s way beyond 300 as of this post.
Why don’t I see you calling out people who say “Lemmy” under kbin posts?
I will! Point me to them and my fury will STRIKE them down!
Lmao, 100%. I swear most folks I know believe being a night owl is simply a lack of self control, or they have a screw loose
sure it’s a lack of self control, if i had better self control i could force myself to go to bed at 21:00 and lie there for 2 hours until i fall asleep out of tortured boredom, and then i could force myself out of bed at 07:00 despite my limbs feeling like lead and every movement bringing me abject misery and pain!
If I wake the morning people up I’d have to spend time with them, which kind of defeats the purpose of being a night person.
Hah, yeah I learned I wasn’t so much a night person as much as someone who indulges in revenge sleep procrastinating and doesn’t get enough alone time in the day.
So fucking much this. They have no respect for the owls
And they are so f*cking proud of being up early as if a short sleep is something worth to accomplish
I tried my whole life to get up early, one day I just gave up. Started my own company, bought a house - now I live and work like nature made me. No, I wear clothes, it’s just the sleep. Btw it’s interesting when you’re hiring how many people are like that and love the hours. I can recommend that to every night person.
that sounds like a cool sitcom TV show idea about a seemingly normal company except they work at night — like a vampire version of The Office
Shut up and take my money.
Most of the startups I’ve worked for dont have any of their meetings until nearly lunch time to account for the fact that most programmers stay up late
I want to work for a company like yours 🥲
It’s unfortunate that most business owners seem to be morning people and demand that all of their employees do the same.
I’m barely functional by 8 AM and you want me to DRIVE? And DO WORK before 10 AM?
I swear, I do 80% of my work between 2PM and 5PM.
I worked in the nightshitf for almost 2 years and can confirm this is so true.
This was me when my ex was asleep on the left, her when I was asleep on the right.
I shined a torch in my wife’s sleeping face this morning at 5am.
I didn’t mean to, I was looking for my ear tunnel, it had fallen out in the night and I didn’t want to go a day at work with a cats arsehole for an ear lobe.
I looked for my spare ones first, I really didn’t want to be that guy, I’m a night person.
Anyway I sent her this and she had to remind me I was a bastard.
She’s right.
my ear tunnel, it had fallen out in the night and I didn’t want to go a day at work with a cats arsehole for an ear lobe.
I think I might be having a stroke, I don’t understand what’s going on here at all.
I assume it’s related to having ear gauges? Just very hopeful guess though.
It took me a few seconds too, but yes, it’s related to having stretched ear lobes.
It’s the plastic kind of beads they put in their ear lobes to stretch them into a hole.
When you remove them, the hole left behind looks like a cat’s butt.
Give this user a cats butt for being correct.
I was a big fan of the body modification scene when I was younger. Now I’m approaching my 40 my piercings have all been removed except these ear stretches.
Do I regret them? No I still quite like em.
I’ve never been a fan of them myself but I’ve always found it nice to learn about others’ interests.
And now that I’ve aged I care less about how others look and more about if they’re kind to me.
Just To be pedantic: tunnels don’t have to be made of plastic, I think surgical steel is more common.
No, that’s a fine addition because I hardly know anything about tunnels. I just felt the need to explain the basics of what I know to them.
Thanks.
I thought the same thing at first because of the use of the word torch, but then I remembered my people across the pond.
“Sure is dark in this room. Better turn on every light in the county.”
See our house is totally opposite, I get up early, take myself downstairs feed the pets and have a nice quiet morning. My wife will arrive at bed at 1am, throw the bedroom light on, rattle all the drawers for PJ’s, loudly demand I wake up so I can watch whatever Facebook video she’s been watching and announce we should have a serious conversation about where we should book for holidays this year.
When I complain, it’s 1am and I gotta get up at 6:30 suddenly I’m the reason we never talk anymore…
That don’t sound good bud.
If your marriage is worth it to you, a consider getting on her schedule somehow. Some people just don’t think about that shit. I started waking up before my ex because she was complete chaos every morning. She’d scream and throw things around. She was ultimately diagnosed with BPD right after we had a major crash and burn.
The girl I’m with now is the opposite. She’s calm, considerate, and an all around amazing partner. There are things she don’t think about though. She loudly looks for her pajamas too (she don’t turn the damn light on thank goodness) but I know she cares for me and considers me because she does so much to show it.
She wakes me up to talk too, but we’re roughly on the same schedule. It bugs me when she does, but it legit doesn’t bother her a bit so if I complained she wouldn’t even remotely understand why I was complaining. It’s no big deal to her to wake up and go right back to sleep.
Sometimes you have to make big changes for the sake of your marriage. Some people can work on opposite schedules and get along fine. Some people can’t.
I wouldn’t wish divorce on a modern day Hitler. It was hands down the worst experience of my life. I don’t regret it now because I’m happier now than I’ve ever been. I’m with someone who I work well with and who I love on a level I didn’t even know was possible (as cheesy as that sounds, I’ve never been happy to do things for anyone else like I do for her). She’s someone I legitimately want to make sacrifices for. If I had to go through that shit again though, I don’t even know if I could. I might check out early or just start walking and never look back.
Think back to why you married your wife. I’m telling you, once it’s done you will and it won’t be any fun.
Just hearing my ex talk just about drove me up the wall though haha. It did from the very beginning too. She was just cool as hell and an amazing artist. I admired her when I thought about her, just couldn’t handle her when I was around her. She was so arrogant and certain that she was the best thing on the planet, which was really just her insecurity talking and playing confident somewhat, but god I couldn’t stand it. I legit think she was one of the best writers the world has ever known, but so did she and good god.
Haha, I went on a tirade there, sorry.
Sir this is
wendyslemmyOhhhh shit. I’ll take a chairman Mao with a Lenin side. And ummmm, one order of Stalins with a Pot of Marx.
Oh, I have a lightweight in the car, he’ll have a Sankara with no extras. He said make it work this time around, please!
:p
Idk man, sounds to me like his wife is very inconsiderate, or unaware that some people are deeply asleep at 1am. This behavior should not regularly happen between people who respect each other and clearly communicate their needs. Maybe they can find a different solution than him changing his entire schedule.
Anyway, I just wanted to browse memes while taking a dump. Strange how these internet conversations come to be.
Literlly my roomate. He sometimes even goes through the house with a horn.
Those are the moments I wish for not living with him together.
There’s a sleep disorder, diurnal, common for people with adhd. Their brains don’t wake up, start functioning til 6pm, wide awake all night.
I’m so careful, courteous at night, super quiet, walking softly… then 6am, morning people wake, stomping, slamming, music blasting. So not fair.
It’s not a disorder, humans are meant to have conflicting sleep schedules. Someone’s got to stay up all night and tend to the fire / keep a lookout.
Do you know if stimulants that are prescribed for ADHD help with that?
Been on Ritalin for a decade. Helps a lot. Used to be WAY disorganized.
Yes. The stimulants used have a side effect of basically being turbocharged coffee… That’s the best way I can describe it.
I’ve been in prescription ADHD meds for more than a year and after forcing myself out of bed long enough to shove my medication down my face hole, within an hour, of that, it becomes impossible for me to get to sleep for at least 10-12 hours, even if I’m fully acclimatized to my dose.
Once when I neglected to take meds for over a month straight (pretty significant depression after a job loss, I’m ok now), the first time I started back on my medication, I was wired for at least 20 hours after taking my normal dose. Messed up my sleep pretty badly, but I got back on the horse right after and things calmed down a lot.
Since getting onto this prescription, I haven’t had any issues staying awake, and usually as the meds wind down (wear off) near the end of the day, I can get to sleep at a reasonable time.
It’s a stimulant, so that’s not really surprising.
Shit man. I don’t feel fully awake until 9pm and then it’s almost time to go to bed. On weekdays I get around 4 hours of sleep.
How else am I supposed to signal to the night owls that it’s time to hit the bed before they got to wake up in 2 hours?
My partner, 6am without fail.
To quote Liz Lemon from 30rock ,”OPPOSITE!”
both are the second picture
yeah, in my experience night owls are just as inconsiderate
Tell me you’ve never lived above a bar without saying you’ve never lived above a bar
I owned one and conveniently had an apartment above it in the past.
With that perspective I tried keeping it not too noisy. Speakers facing in a way to prevent noise pollution to the outside, less bass on everything too. Central speakers also get to be louder while speakers close to the windows are not as loud. It’s not ideal but it’s much better than being entirely careless.
The customers at least tend to not be noisy unless it’s karaoke night. They have some common decency where I live.
I went to an Airbnb in Milano, in which in the middle of it’s block was literally a night club. Literally block residents and people who come to party enter and exit the same block door.
However, I didn’t hear anything, they soundproofed the hell out of this place, and the culture isn’t loud.
