Are you more of a night or morning person?
I’m most definitely a night owl. Unfortunately working forces me to be a morning person.
Typical day:
I wake up at 5:30-6:20 am depending on what I have to do that morning and/or if we have the kids that day. After the day, once we settle down for bed. We are in bed for 9:30ish pm and typically asleep for 10:15 pm. That’s roughly 8 hours of sleep and I STILL wake up tired.
Preferred day:
On a day that I feel rested. I do not need half of the sleep that I need on a work day. For whatever reason, my best sleep is between 4:30 am and 7:30 am. Breaking my cycle during this time ruins my energy. So I could, and have, gone to sleep at 1:00 am and I will pop up out of bed by myself at 7:30-8:00 am. every time.
I do not know the reasoning behind this but I just know that I feel way more rested and productive going to sleep later and waking up later.
Also, as a side note, I’m way more productive from 10:00 pm to 12:00 am than I am any other time of the day. My brain works the best around this time. Maybe that’s why I sleep better after that time? Who knows.
If anyone can help me understand it better that would be an amazing comment. Thank you ahead of time.

My whole family, kids to elderly, run in huge night owl numbers! I can’t tell you how many normal days, holidays, and plottings found us laughing together through to daylight. Our jobs reflect it.
If you haven’t done a dna kit you should! Ancestry confirmed in one of my 3 free traits that I am, in fact, a certified night owl! It’s literally in my genes!! That might explain it for you as well. Nature and all…
Maybe we were the overnight watchmen in our far distant past! With the world like it is, we may be needed! Hahahahahah and good morning (not)!
