Can a human be nocturnal?

Question

I am always wide awake at night and do fine taking very short naps during the day.

Answer 1

While most people get tired at a certain time usually around 10 pm, some people's circadian rhythms (24 hour cycles) work differently.  I actually want to my PA because I had a similar problem and she dismissed the issue.  I have done some research- there is a disorder called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome- which basically means you're a night person.  I personally believe it is just a sign that you have a unique circadian rhythm.

Answer 12

I did fine living that lifestyle throughout my 20's but once I hit 30 it totally ruined my internal clock. I regret keeping those hours now but it was a choice I made. Maybe you will fare better than I did.

Answer 13

Yes

Answer 14

WellI know I can see with very little light but if there is none at all I'm blind, I used to practice down this one really rural road in high school, I'd be going 90 with the lights off, it seemed like I could see a lot further in front of me without them on. unless an idiot drives by with his brights on blinding me.
