I’m not a morning person either, but I have ADHD, so coffee does nothing for me. I have to get up 2 hours before I have to leave or else I’m just simply not awake, which is plenty of time for a run.
I don’t actually go for a run, but I could. Theoretically.
Being a morning person is a superpower.
By the time anyone else gets to work I’m jacked up on caffeine and I’ve gotten 2-3 hours worth of shit done, and the first thing my bosses see when they log in is that I’ve finished all of the morning work requests.
Awesome.
I’ve noticed I’m naturally a morning person when I’m able to upkeep good work-life balance. I love waking up super early, catching the sunrise, hearing the morning birds, and having a nice, long, calm morning. When the job is too demanding and too stressful, I sleep like shit and wake up in madness, depend too much on coffee, and just feel like shit 80% of the time.
Being a night person is a superpower.
You can work night shifts, get paid more, feel better than during the day, not miss business hours because you’re working at the same time as everyone else, and enjoy the outside without people in better air and no eye pain from the sun.
Until you’ve been doing it for a few years, and it’s winter, and you only have 6 hours of daylight per day, and you see 0 of them.
Don’t forget your social life deteriorating because you’re working or sleeping whilst your friends are meeting up
I get that this is a funny, but this is also bucket-of-crabs thinking.
Wish I had the energy to be that person. We hate what we can’t have.
This is not about “having the energy” to do it. It takes discipline, not motivation, to work out before work every morning. Motivation is fleeting for everyone. You just suck it up, get to the gym, and by the time you finished your workout you are glad you did it
