By the time anyone else gets to work I’m jacked up on caffeine and I’ve gotten 2-3 hours worth of shit done, and the first thing my bosses see when they log in is that I’ve finished all of the morning work requests.
I am definitely a morning person. I am up and ready at 4 am every day. Most of my exes hated it. Or at least couldn’t understand what motivated me. I am just not miserable. Nothing wrong with accepting your life and making the most of it.
Doesn’t that just result in you doing more work in a day than everyone else? If my boss realizes I’ve done everything they just assign me more work. Sod that.
Not at all. My day is just paced differently. I can take it easier in the afternoons when my energy is low. I also love that my teammates have the latitude to chill at the beginning of their day, because they are definitely not morning people.
You can work night shifts, get paid more, feel better than during the day, not miss business hours because you’re working at the same time as everyone else, and enjoy the outside without people in better air and no eye pain from the sun.
I need to sleep 10 hours, every night, otherwise I’m actively depriving myself of sleep. I’m not ill, got confirmed that that’s just how it is. A 40 hour work week really wasn’t made for this.
I’ve noticed I’m naturally a morning person when I’m able to upkeep good work-life balance. I love waking up super early, catching the sunrise, hearing the morning birds, and having a nice, long, calm morning. When the job is too demanding and too stressful, I sleep like shit and wake up in madness, depend too much on coffee, and just feel like shit 80% of the time.
There is definitely a fine line. I think “morning people” are more volatile and 1 small hiccup can ruin an entire morning and throw them off for the rest of the day. Night people tend to just sleep longer and miss some stuff but overall have no change to routine when something goes wrong.
Being a morning person is a superpower.

Awesome.

It’s not like I get paid per resolved ticket

Being a night person is a superpower.

Being both is the real superpower I sleep 5-6 hours and am perky from rise to crash. I love it.
Care to take some of my hours, lol?

Until you’ve been doing it for a few years, and it’s winter, and you only have 6 hours of daylight per day, and you see 0 of them.
When I used to work monitoring CCTVs it was like this. Drove to work in the dark, Go into a windowless office for 12 hours, Go home in the dark.
I used to have my lunch at like 1:00 a.m.
Actually I saw more sun when I worked nights. I’d go to bed around 10-12 so I has from 7am until then to see the sun and not be stuck working.
Night Shift IS easy, but then again I’ve always been something of a vampire
Don’t forget your social life deteriorating because you’re working or sleeping whilst your friends are meeting up
I mean, when you’re morning person you also just spend all those daylights hours at work so
Unless you work outside, I wouldn’t say there’s that much of a difference
I’m a troglodyte, I’m cool with that, but yeah it isn’t for everyone.
Accurate. 🤟
