“The circadian body clock generates 24-hour rhythms that keep humans healthy and in time with the day/night cycle.”
My body must have been AWOL when that circadian thingy was being programmed. I’ve ALWAYS been a night owl. My mom says I nearly drove them crazy when I was a baby because I didn’t want to sleep at night.
I’ve always felt more alert at night. Now I can barely drag myself through the day and perk up every night between 9 and 10. I’ll lay in the bed and toss and turn until sometime around 3 a.m. before falling asleep.
I’m about ready to say screw it and just keep my own schedule.
Lot of famous people are like that. Churchill tended to work late into the night. Stalin worked in the early morning hours, lots of low level officials died early from having to work all day and still be awake for a 3am Stalin phone call. A lot just sat there chain smoking waiting for the call, if they did not answer, good chance it was off to the Gulag.
