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’?

Hmm I feel like a lot of answers here are conflating early bird/night owl with simply what time you wake up and go to sleep. That’s not really what the concept is about if I understand it correctly, it has way more to do with what time of day you feel most energized and productive regardless of your exact sleeping times.
