The description of night owls seems to be in agreement with my experiences.
It's also fucking hard to be a night owl. For me, this is the single biggest issue my bosses had with me in every job - because they can tolerate someone coming at 12:00 to work only for so long. I tried everything I could think of - sleeping longer, not sleeping, drinking shitton of coffee, not drinking any coffee, melatonin before sleep, adrafinil in the morning, winding down early with alcohol, winding down early with sedatives, etc. and none of it works - I can maintain the "early bird" schedule for at most few days, any longer and I'll be feeling miserable and sleeping on the keyboard - and then my body will force me back to night schedule anyway, by means of sleeping through even loudest of alarm clocks, or suddenly crashing in the late afternoon and waking up at 1 AM, or something.
BTW. it's 04:17 for me right now, and I'm supposed to be at work in 5 hours. Wish me luck.
