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’?

We’re not tho. If you’re up after midnight or later every night, you could call yourself a night owl. If you wake up at 5-6am every morning, you could call yourself an early bird.
I would say if you went to bed around 9-10pm and woke up around 6:30-7:30, you’re not a night owl or an early bird. The typical average work shift is 9-5. Average people wake up around 7am. Then they get home by 6ish and are in bed before midnight. I wouldn’t call them an early bird or a night owl.
