Why are we either ‘Night Owl’ or ‘Early Birds’?

Why are we either night owls or early birds and is change possible?

Ever since as far back as I can remember I’ve been a night owl – far more focussed, energetic and motivated during the late evenings.

This was back when I had a forced routine of going to bed ‘early’ to wake up for school.

Even in adult life where I’ve both had a choice or been forced into a routine of waking up at early hours due to a job I’ve found that hasn’t changed. I function better at night, no matter what routine I get into.

Is there a reason for this and is change possible? Are there also ‘Mid day people’?

some of us used to stay u plate at night to guard the town. others got up early to hunt or start food prep, etc. others did mid-day work.

somewhere, some genetic component like better night vision crept in and made some of us lean one way over the other two. got tied into our circadian rhythm along the way as well.
