Me! Me! I'm an owl!

Natural bioday is 11am until 1am. I'm on autopilot before 11am, and sometimes before noon.

Three cheers for flexi-time and for managers who are also owls!

Absolutely. I'm for larks as well, since the more extreme of them get fadged as well... but scientifically (so they say) it is easier for them to adjust.
Even if I do rearrange my sleep, I still don't work. I am not hungry for breakfast, until 11am which is when I would preferably get up. Then I am ready for 'lunch' at 3. And so on. It is the same timescale, just differently imposed upon the day.
More UT for everything!

Great idea you have here. My natural bioday is probably 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM too. I've noticed that all my best ideas are made at around midnight, when my working day has made me too tired to write them down.

Aye... I have to be up at 7 on official days.

I have an owlish muse, too. T'other night I was being good and trying to sleep earlyish, when I came up with the idea for a song! try sleeping thru that.

Been there, done that. The first time I was on holiday, without a music book. I learned the music (as you would on a piano) but without any instrument, and practiced it every night before sleep. Managed for four days until I bought a manuscript book!

The second time, I'd bought a keyboard, so I just got up, turned the keyboard on very quietly, and learned the piece before I went to sleep...

So, is this an official society yet? If not, I propose it should be: too long have I toiled in the glaring light of day! I'm ready to unite and fight to the bitter end!


...well, at least once my exams are over. At the moment switching into my natural cycle is too risky- I may sleep through an exam! I find it safer just to run on no sleep at all. Ah! You see what havoc such discrimination wreaks?

I agree, exams and college make me sleep at night! It's unfair. In the summer the day can be an ok time to be awake, when it's actually bright and warm. But now that it's winter the night is far better.

The *day* can be lovely, but early morning does not agree with me.
The society is by all means Official, if that is what it takes!
exams... glad I will never have to pass another (unless it's a 'sample' test...) but all education is based on early mornings. I am being educated now at my own choice and cost, and yet I have to be up at 7.30. (At least I can stay up for another 5 minutes before going into the danger zone.)

Try having to get up at five thirty every morning, just to get to school! Luckily, once exams are over, I'll never have to do it again... at least until Uni. starts next year.
I tell you, it's a conspiracy!

Ugh! how far away is it?
or is it some spooky conspiratorial morning school?

A bit of both. School starts at eight and it takes me two hours to get there. Appalling, I know.

What's your location?

Dromana, Australia.

vastly different from here, no doubt.

That is one reason to stay up all night- to further communications with other parts of the world.
joy etc.

Aha! But I'm finished now! I had my last exam on Friday! Now, I'm free!

hurrah- was it harsh or are you optimistic?

tho everything improves after an 11 hour sleep.
