>> On the other hand people sleep better in the dark
I don't understand how people manage this. I fall asleep in less than 5 minutes if I lie down while the Sun is up in the morning, and stay solidly asleep until an appropriate number of hours have passed. Going to bed in the dark, I can toss and turn for anywhere from 30-120 minutes before finally dozing off.
Night owlism is real, and it's seriously debilitating to be required to conform to working a 9-5/10-6 job. It's Friday night, so I get to live my weekend hours. It's 2:30am now, and I'll be up another few hours. Whenever I am on vacation, or between jobs, I instantly swap to a nocturnal schedule. It is extremely painful to have to work during the day, to the point where I burn out after 12-18 months at a job. For the first time in a decade, I've almost made it 2 years at a single employer. That time is running out. I need a reversion back to my normal hours for a while. :(
