Life as a Night Owl in a Morning Lark World
Are you a night owl? I am. It's is 2:38 am as I start this new lens. I like the night. It's peaceful, quiet, and I love the smell of the outside air at night. If you are a night owl, do you find that people from the other side (morning larks, early birds, whatever) tend to think of you as lazy, less successful, etc.? Let's explore that and other things on this lens. Should be fun, huh?

One of my favorite sayings as a night owl is "I love the mornings; they just come WAY TOO EARLY!" :)
New Did you know? Random Facts
What just what is a night owl, anyway?
Wikipedia defines a night owl as a person who tends to stay up late at night, generally past midnight. Extreme night owls stay up until 5-6 am. Some people, probably morning larks, seem to think that we night owls don't like our lives this way and call our natural body rhythm a "syndrome." I personally don't think of the way I am wired as being a problem, except that the world isn't set up for us. Most stores, restaurants, and even TV shows just don't coordinate with our schedules. I've watched a lot of "paid programming" over the years because sometimes it's the BEST THING ON late at night. Thank goodness for the internet! It's totally made for night owls.
I like the other definition that Wikipedia has, called nyctophilia. This is a person who simply PREFERS a darker, nighttime world. That's me.
Hello, my name is John, and I'm a nyctophiliac! Glad to meet you.

I am retired and can finally give in to my Night Owl personality. Unfortunately, I am married to a Morning Lark. But, we have been together for 50 years, so no need to change now.
