From my experience in school, most students are night owls. I'm the opposite. I love waking up at the crack of dawn and commuting as early as possible. Early in the morning, the landscapes are amazing. In my country, nights are a bit dangerous and you're prone to be robbed and suffer chronic injuries. I'd better live in peace.

Yes, it seems to us that lots of students like to stay up late. But... we're not sure if that's because they're night owls or just because they have left their homework until the last minute! 😂😂😂

I'm a medical student, and although I know that a night owl has more risks of chronic diseases than an early bird, I still am a night owl. Because I have to learn a big knowledge from medical university, I don't have time and I can't wake up in the early morning. It seems to be so fun when a doctor advises patients don't sleep too late, the doctor does it oppositely.

Several years ago, I was an early bird. I woke up early in the morning to exercise and go running. At that time, my health was extremely good, both mental and physical. However, I am gradually addicted to social media, like TikTok and Facebook, so I almost stay up late every single day. I realized that I was deteriorating in health. I frequently have headaches and become sedentary and stagnant in my leisure pursuits than I used to. Now I am endevouring myself to break my bad habits and lead a healthy and balanced life.

My daughter is a night owl. She says that she works better at night. There's a chronic shortage of water in our dams. We must use it sparingly. If you don't eat healthy food and practice exercise, it's prone to have some disease in the future.

When i used to a morning person,it forces me to sleep early at night.I already knew that i won't get prone to chronic disease,but by and by i shifted my time of sleep to late nights in despair,then i started and were keen on watching series more and more and felt enthusiastic,and then whenever it is seen I'm fond of myself as a night owl. Irrespective of what i cannot go back to the time i were.Even though i tried so hard to get through because i was fed up with staying up late as a result, i started eating like a horse and drinking like a fish as well.

But now, I have changed my routine. I sleep at 11 pm and wake up at 6.am. Then, I ride a bike for 30 minutes, eat breakfast and enjoy a cup of coffee. I decided to avoid anything prone to my life. Because of that, my quality of life is amazingly improved.

Even though staying up late is prone to some chronic diseases, I still think I can do my work more effectively and creatively at late nights. It may sound a bit ironic, but it works for me ! Besides, I reckon that being a night owl or an early bird may not be as considerable as assuring that you have adequate 7-8 hours of sleeping for a day. For those whose jobs require to work at night such as flight attendants or doctors, their biological clock must be flexible.
