Are you a late sleeper (a night owl)?

Question

Most people can't afford to be b/c of their jobs but atm i'm job hunting & i sleep really late 3-4am. My family think i'm weird, actually i'm perceived as lazy but i don't think i am. during the night, i research my hobbies & am very productive. they don't understand that. what should i do? am i weird & is this a bad habbit??

Answer 1

Yeah i sleep from about 7 or 8 am till about 4 or 5 pm.  But no I don't think its a bad habit.  People with night jobs do this all the time.

Answer 2

I do this a lot too. I find it very difficult to sleep early "9-10 PM", so I always end up reading very late, until sometimes 4-6. Then around 6:30 AM, I become very tired, and fall asleep, until 11-12 PM. This is an unhealthy habit, because it reverses your entire day.  

Answer 3

I don't think it's entirely weird.

Sometimes I will start doing uni work at night and work into the early hours of the morning because i'm on a roll and there's no one around to disturb me.

So that could be similar with you.  You like to do your thing at a time that no one can disturb you.

But I think you should be careful because you need a good nights sleep.  And if you go to sleep late then you might wake up late.  But on the other hand, some people always wake up at the same time (like an internal body clock).  And if you're the latter then going to sleep late means you won't get enough sleep.

So keep that in mind.
