    Oh this is good stuff. I’m a night owl who - left to my own devices - would go to bed between 2-3am and wake up around 10-11am. It takes me forever to wake up. Primary school was a symphony of teachers complaining about me not being attentive at the start of the day (when classes started as early as 7.50am).

    I feel it's weird how this video seemingly still buys into the idea that being a night owl means wasting your time in the morning instead of just shifting your time. Like you don't need to get up slowly if you get up late. You can still have a routine just at a different time. The whole idea that you have "all this time" in the morning if you get up early has always weirded me out so much as if people don't know how time works and just totally ignore that if you sleep the same length of time, you will have the same awake time regardless of when it is.

    I’m a morning person through and through, but I never understood the flack early birds give the night owls. Early birds are their most productive in the morning. Night owls are most productive in the evenings. Same system, different times. For example: “I got so much done before most people are out of bed.” Yes, but while you were in bed going to sleep, the night owls were just getting started. They could say to the morning person “hey look, I got so much done while you were sleeping.”

    I’m a night owl and have struggled with the judgement that comes with not wanting to operate on everyone else’s schedule. I’ve also put a lot of shame and pressure on myself, and felt like I just lacked discipline for not being able to adhere to the routines you see all over the internet. Learning about chronotypes was so validating. Being in a remote job with a more flexible schedule has also been a game changer. Routine and structure can be super valuable, especially as a chronic procrastinator like Sara, but being able to build a routine that works with my natural schedule not against makes all the difference.

    Thank you so much for portraying late start/late night in a positive light! I've tried for so long to wake up early, and I can do it, but I didn't realise at what cost until recently. I've actually pushed my night until later for practical reasons (flatmates in the bathroom anyone?) and ended up sleeping less overall and feeling more refreshed when waking up. And I shed some of the guilt I had about waking up late, and I feel lighter as a result! Also, the willpower that I was using for waking up early and having a good routine (working out, journaling, etc) is now available for other things. No more fighting each morning only to be tired and depleted for the rest of the day! What a difference it can make!

Right now I'm applying for a Virtual Assistant job that would affect my circadian rhythm. I'm from the Philippines and the work schedule that I'm about to venture into would use the Pacific Standard Time, 8am to 4pm. Which would be 11pm-7am in my country.

I think I've had and tested all kinds of sleeping routines (a lot of them as a consequence of youtube videos pushing the idea of becoming the morning person) but what I tend to gravitate towards, and always have, is very similar to what Sara does. The lack of distractions during the night is absolutely amazing, but this routine doesn't make it easy to live when you have fixed schedules like school or work where you *need* to show up at certain times during the day. But had I the freedom to set my own schedule I would 100% stick to being a night owl.

    The thing that really brought home the point for me that the biological clock is real and you can only do so much to change it was working a job for the summer that required me to be there at 6 AM every day. No matter how dead tired I was, night time would hit and I absolutely could not sleep. My mind was racing and my energy level increased despite me desperately wanting to sleep knowing how tired I would be in the morning. Meanwhile, while I worked, I downed 3 energy drinks a day just to keep from falling asleep in the chair. I eventually settled into a routine of napping when I would get home at 4 knowing I wouldn’t get enough sleep overnight. There’s no way I could survive on a schedule like that long-term.

But then I stumbled on to Brandon Sanderson's schedule - which was near identical to the one I had fallen into and guilt evaporated. I've been twice as productive since I let go of the guilt and just embraced it.

    Loved this collaboration and the concept of the video! It was great seeing Sara here! Well, a mid-owl here…I tried the 5am, 6am, the what-ever-am ritual but I decided to wake up naturally (between 7:45 to 8:15) and also I sleep a 20 min siesta everyday (a Power Nap I guess…). I like sleeping and maybe saying it sounds like a little bit guilty in this obsessed society of hustling 24-7 but that´s who am I. A mid owl. Loved the concept!

    Interesting experiment, and diving into and exploring your chronotype is a gamechanger. It really shows you how unique we all are and that trying to follow another person's "way" will only work for so long. It's about 1) learning what works for you, and then 2) giving yourself the permission to embrace this - it's the latter that's often the hardest.

    Love this video! I am a night owl who comes from a family of night owls. Being made to feel lazy because I can’t get up early really sucks. When I get up early I feel like I lose my creativity even if I have more productivity and I find I burn out mentally and emotionally without having the space for creativity and unstructured time.

    Love this. Can’t wait to see your prospective on productivity, sleep and children. It was a wild wake-up call for me. Pre baby life I was a night owl with horrible insomnia needing anywhere between 8-11hr of sleep to function best. Now with two little boys, I don’t get to sleep in past 6-7am most days living off average of 5 hours sleep a night broken up to breastfeed.

    This video made me realize the differences in how my partner and I each start the day (she is more like Rachel and I am more like Matt). I often feel like I'm trapped in bed in the morning until she wakes up, but even then, it takes her a while to get out of bed. My personal takeaway from this video is that I should start doing things that can be done stationary before she wakes up, then I feel more productive and less stressed.

    I'm very similar to Sarah. I tend to sleep until 10am and then slowly ease into the day. It's really difficult to rewire that. I often have morning shifts at work, starting at 6/7 am, and I can never get enough sleep before as I tend to stay awake until like midnight.

    I'm a night owl but recently been waking up at like 5-6am on Saturdays to do creative stuff, I find mornings the best time for photography and there's this weird "bliss" at those earlier hours that I love but I tend to procrastinate between 10am-5pm because of all this "spare time" that I now have. I don't think I'll ever actually change from being a night owl tbh

    This past week, I've been trying to get away from being a night owl and do the early morning thing. So far, waking up before 5 hasn't been the main issue. It's actually great to get stuff done before the rest of the house is up. But my main issue is getting to bed early. I dont need a lot of sleep...maybe 6-7hrs is fine for me. But that still means I gotta go to bed by 10-11pm the night before. THAT is my real struggle. :(

    As an owl, that actually forces myself to wake up at 5am, I know, that it can be done. Although, in a way it is also quite dangerous. The thing is, I have the most energy in like 10pm. That's when I would like to start the best projects etc. But it's also the time I should go to sleep according to my schedule. If you actually give in to both (waking up early AND using your late-day energy), you'll start suffering sooner or later. Because at first you get the benefits of getting ridiculous amounts of work done before the other people even arrive at work and leaving shortly after the lunch. And you can also have a lot of fun later, when you have the energy. However, then your sleep debt start creeping up on you and it can have dire consequences.

    Pretty much whole 2023 did this, work forces me to wake up at 6:30. Owl energy / binge Netflix series watching keeps me up until 1-2 AM. Cathing up sleep on weekends, some work days i can have afternoon nap. But thursdays, fridays mornings are horrors. I am trying to ban late night TV this year and get better. Also few year back i was freelancing and i was on Sara´s schedule, slow start reading and etc before lunch and really productive at 11 PM -2 AM when everythging silenced.

    After considering myself a morning person all my life, I started a new job working night shift some months ago. Rewiring my sleep schedule was surprisingly easy! I am now pretty much convinced that time is fake - I'm not a morning person or a night person, I'm literally just a person. :D You can have a productive 'morning' routine at any time of the day - well, unless it explicitly contains "seeing the sunrise," but that's just part of my evening routine now.
