Comments on: How to Become a Late Riser: 5 Reasons Why Sleeping In Every Day Will Boost your Productivity http://www.lifeevolver.com/late-riser-5-reasons-sleeping-day-boost-productivity/ Tips for tranforming your life Mon, 31 Oct 2011 04:48:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Yehudit http://www.lifeevolver.com/late-riser-5-reasons-sleeping-day-boost-productivity/#comment-2782 Yehudit Sun, 06 Feb 2011 13:06:35 +0000 http://www.lifeevolver.com/?p=39#comment-2782 @Basil: this is my point. You suggested only setting the clock earlier, without the option of trying out the opposite direction. While it is possible to include the idea of sleeping longer, it is commonly accepted that to "sleep in" means sleeping later. The article constantly refers to sleeping later, i.e., its definition of "Night Owl" says that those people go to sleep and wake up later than the general population. I would say that the title is a little misleading. @Basil: this is my point. You suggested only setting the clock earlier, without the option of trying out the opposite direction.

The statement that "going to bed earlier does not help Night Owls" begs the question: the only way you'd know whether the time of day affects your cognition is to get the same amount of sleep at different cycles of the day. The rest of this article re-re-phrases "extra sleep is good for you." Alert the media! @Yehudit: You don’t have to sleep late to sleep in.

Some of us are just wired that way. @Basil White: Conversely, try to set the alarm for later in the morning; going to bed earlier does not help Night Owls. @Clayfoot: That's why Night Owls have curtains. @Lair: Sorry, but I'll bet the lives of our most creative people contradict your comment. @Lynda: Night Owls are less likely to join the military, so those productive people are already predisposed to rise earlier. Also, regulating people's sleep schedules helps keep them in line and more efficient to the organization. @Phil Carney: Right there with you! Some of us are just wired that way.

However I'm not going to use this as an excuse to wake up late, BUT I can now be unapologetic to friends and family why I MEET them in the middle in the colliding of our schedules. And prove to still be productive in a non linear timeline. Well anyway, thats coming from someone from freelance work in the 'creative' Film Industry.

I'd say their behaviour and 'productivity' are pretty high up there... I am totally a Night Owl, but just sayin, the military wakes up at what, 4:30am? 5am?

We don't want to be like you! Many of us N.O.'s are very happy the way we live. We are creative, intelligent, and open-minded enough to know that a person can be successful regardless of what time he or she goes to bed and/or wakes up. You very rarely hear N.O.'s trying to convince M.L.'s to stay up late or sleep in. Yet I am constantly hearing M.L.'s chastising N.O.'s and trying to make them feel guilty, or in plain English, like "Losers" for not waking up at 6AM or 7AM. It's just plain wrong. Taking a look at prisons alone, and all of their repeat inmates, should be a good start to doing some research to prove that waking up early is not one of the major keys to success.
