    There’s some overlapping options here. CEOs frequently claim to wake up at 5AM and do a load of woo woo voodoo bullshit to ‘spot opportunities’, and they’re useless members of society.

      “Well, first I put in a solid 2 hours at the gym, and then I go meet with my spiritual mentor, and then it’s another 2 hours back at the gym. Finally I read the newspapers for an hour or two. At this point, I can go for a quick 7am breakfast and be into the office by 9:30, after a quick swim at the gym. But not before my personal meeting with the lord.”

      The people driving opinions like that don’t need to wait until after work to pick up their groceries. The less well off ones can go pick it up during work while the better off ones let their chef hire someone to take care of keeping enough fresh ingredients stocked.

    I had a similar conversation with a friend in college who alleged that waking up after 9am meant that you are lazy. In all cases. Period.

    Stayed up until 3am partying with your friends? Better still be up by 9.

    Took the Redeye which didn’t land until 5am? Oof, enjoy your few hours remaining but don’t sleep in…

    Work a double shift through the night until 8am? Did I fucking stutter, you can only sleep until 9am, you useless fuck!

    Idk… seems silly and arbitrary.

      Is that a lack of empathy? Like they literally can’t comprehend anything other than their own lived experiences. I’ve noticed a scary number of people are “the only moral abortion is my abortion” type. Like they don’t care about anything unless it affects them. Cant think of a worse character trait.

          My wife and i just had this convo/research about our kids. The concept is “sleep supportive family.”

          I came from sleep supportive, she did not. We had to settle out differences on how to handle that for our kids and decided she’d cross over to the sleep supportive side.

          When we got married, she’d be waking me up at 830 because it was “time to wake up” like i didnt just put in a 60 hour week. Glad shes come around now

      Not to mention all the shift workers. My SO is a nurse on an afternoon shift, they rarely wake up before noon.

      But apparently, to your “friend”, my SO is a worthless sack.

      Neat.

      This fails to consider edge cases such as many here have brought up. The implication is that folks who choose to sleep in are less productive than folks who don’t, not that folks who must sleep later for logistical reasons such as shift work are less productive.

      So yeah this is poorly written.

    We are so biased towards those with circadian rhythms that align with early mornings.

    I am so much healthier and happier once I realized mine ran later than most and adjusted my schedule accordingly.

      Multiphasic sleep made a big difference in my life. I’m fortunate to have the kind of job where I can just nap at 3PM randomly.

    3pm, for a 5pm-6am workday. The type of person who would present this question unironically would probably still consider me useless though.

        Security, and I would kill for a couple of hours to myself each day. By the time I get home, I have about half an hour to get to sleep if I want a full 8h down before the next shift. I work 2-3 nights, then get 2-3 off, so it averages out to 7 shifts a fortnight which isn’t so bad.

          I recently got away from a 7p-7a, and rationalizations aside, it is so bad. Maybe the day shifters are ok with it, but they don’t have to wildly swing their sleep schedule every couple days just to get some time to do something other than work or sleep.

            I’ll take longer shifts with 7 days off per fortnight over normal ones with only weekends off any day. I rarely change my sleep schedule, I just stay nocturnal most of the time. I pop to the shops on my break most shifts to grab a backpack load of groceries, then there’s a 24h one near my apartment if I need anything that can’t wait on nights off. I spend my “mornings” with my girlfriend until she goes to bed around lunchtime, then I have the rest of my time to myself. It works for me, and has been for the last 8 years 🤷‍♂️

              Other departments on a 3 on 4 off rotation had it much better, at least there was some semblance of time off. Also, my area has basically nothing open after dark besides fuel stations, making the problem worse.

        Not who you asked but: it’s possible to do night time readiness jobs where you basically sleep (lightly) on premises (not all of those 13h of course) and are there when needed. Usually you’d do that for a week, then have a week off or something like that.

    Anyone else get their best coding done between the hours of 10pm to 6am when we’re finally enjoying peace?

    During grad school, I analyzed my dissertation data in the restricted access room late at night while binging Star Trek TNG and Voyager on my laptop. I’d then go to my 7am meetings with my early bird boomer advisor for my RA job and immediately crash once I got home.

      I can’t code within hours. Once I’m thinking about it, it just bounces around in there until I figure it out. So I appear to slack off a lot, but I’m thinking about it very often even outside work.
