Is it normal to be tired by day, wired by night?

  • Hey stupid: There is a small, but very important subset of the population, who provide essential services, that must be undertaken at night.
    Otherwise, when the day-time power-players woke up, there would be no goods on the shelves, at most of the stores; and there would be no energy, for them to wash and shave with, or to make breakfast with.
    There are (were) also a whole host of servers, cooks / chefs and entertainers, who provide(d) diversion from the mundane world of the diurns, in the evening, and at night.
    There are doctors and nurses working, because people do get sick and injured at night.
    There are also astronomers, who find it very difficult to observe the stars during the day, because Sol interferes with that.
    The are also some construction activities, that must be done at night, because there would be too much civil disruption during the day.
    What would happen if you had to drive all night, and you couldn't get fuel, because everything is closed, and the fuel delivery truck didn't make their rounds?
    There are also a whole host of other occupations, that must get all or part of their work done at night, or everything stops functioning during the day.

    Nocturns, had developed their own exciting and vibrant culture.
    But it seems that some utterly naïve, thoughtless and stupid, senile, corrupt, diurnal creep, weirdo, and perverted police-criminals, had somehow convinced other perverted creep, weirdo police-criminals to destroy all that; and in the process, destroy themselves.

    Everything happens at night!

    • Ya but not likely he's one of those people. Cause it's a small population. YOU SAID IT YOU - SELF

    • Yeah, exactly. It's a 24/7 world now. It's always been, that way, really. It's just that some narrow minded people think that all humans wake up at the crack of dawn. Nope. Before lights and power were normal, somebody had to be up all night as the night watchmen, right?

      I've had some fun volunteering at a few hospitals in their ER overnight. It can get busy. It's not as if illness only happens during conventional business hours.

      Night it is for me.
      I've had to convert my schedule to the typical morning crap. It has to be forced. I've been a late night person as far back as possible. I know that when I was like 8 or 9, I was up past 2AM.

      I just feel better at night. It is only weird to me because I might stay up all night, go all day with having had no sleep. I should be sleepy by evening right? I will be so tired around 2-3pm but as soon as night arrives, I'm completely fine, alert, awake, and fine. I'll be up until 1AM likely. That's unusual. I must be wired for night.

      This is how I function in this world. Funny enough I get things done fine. But, ah, I love night!

    • I figured my 9PM comment would get me the wrath of a graveyard-shifter. 'Nocturn' is a cool word, but there's nothing cool about living at night instead of the day.

      Vitamin D issues aside, vampire, I am well aware that work gets done every hour of the day. But OP has to be awake at 7-8AM, and by my guess he/she is a college kid with a bad sleep schedule.

      Hardmode: don't use your phone while you're in bed.

      • Yes, I'm at school as a grad student. It is a lively place past midnight every single night.

        I have always hated mornings. I think many more people in the world hate early morning hence, the huge demand for coffee sales.

        • We should revolt against this pressure to conform to being happy, chirpy morning people. I'm not, lol. I'm very much mute until noon rolls around.

          I function best at night.

          Maybe this is good. Um, as you all say, graveyard shift. That could be monetarily good for me.
