    This comic written by an early bird person blaming night owls for not being early birds using an owl as the token of knowledge is quite insulting.

    You can sleep going to bed early? then enjoy the present life gave you and how much work life is architectured around you and stop preaching to the people that naturally has an internal clock different than yours.

    you preachy little shit.

      So weird that when you don’t get up super early in the morning you are somehow lazy, but if you’re in bed super early that’s somehow admirable?

      What the fuck are you doing in bed at 22:00 you lazy fuck? There’s stuff to be done.

      Maybe I’m naïve but I read it as “going to bed early relative to when you normally go to bed”. For example, if I normally sleep at 9:00pm, then being in bed at 8:30pm so that I actually get all the sleep that I’m supposed to; instead of going to bed at 9:30pm and missing out on a whole hour’s sleep (assuming it takes 30 minutes to nod off).

        idk, I’ve preached at about this so many times that at this point I don’t give the benefit of the doubt, I just read it as “get in line, night owl == lazy / early bird == healthy positive people”

        Like I know sleeping is important, but assuming early bed time is a choice and doesn’t have a natural component is really arrogant. Your assumption that takes 30 min to nod off is wildly naive, many night owls like myself have the challenge that if we go to bed “30 min earlier” we might not sleep at all, if it was a constant time most of us would have become early birds by societal pressure.

          Yeah I’m a noncompliant sleeper myself. 26 hour circadian rhythm so I just sleep whenever I happen to be tired that day. Doctors told me I’m being unreasonable and should just sleep hygiene harder as if I’ve not tried that lol. But I try to be an optimist when reading stuff I guess, like reading it in a generous way if I can

            fair enough, I just wanted to raise awareness to avoid people reading it not feel “just guilty” because of their nature, but rather feel a bit of support on a world designed for others.

            Of course we all just try to get by and do as good as we can to different levels of success, I just dislike the “all is voluntary” discourse, I find it quite non diverse disguised as “healthy life”.

            And yes, specially infuriating when coming from doctors who should know better.

      You can adjust to be being an early bird, at least I managed. You may not be a HAPPY bird, but you will be up.

        You might, not everyone can, trued it for a while and was having way worse and shorter sleeping in the end, with the added pressure of being angry all the time because I was fighting my internal clock.

        I might sleep less, but letting it flow makes my overal mental health be much better. And I’m very positive and happy most times.
