Morning vs. Night People

The above picture represents my current facial expression. It is 6:30AM and I am about to go to sleep.

There are two types of people in this world… morning people and night people. I am not about to tell you which one is statistically better, but I will tell you which side I would fight for if there ever was a war between us. Today is a special exception for me, though (I have a probability test today and I have been studying my @!$^&#% off for the past eight hours).

Morning people are those who I always find speeding out of a parking lot to get first in line for Dunkin Donuts coffee. Night people are those who slowly drift through a red light with their driver’s side window open during the winter (in the morning, of course). Roles flip-flop when you hit 11PM. So what is more productive? Who do you find gets the job done better?

I, personally, recommend being the night owl. The day is over and work should begin. If/When you plan on starting a business - when will you get most of your work done? The night is quiet, reserved, and boring enough for you to focus. There aren’t many distractions - and the distractions that DO exist can be filtered out. Why do work in the morning (where there will always be a time limit!) when you can work on everything at your leisure at night (no sleep inertia!)?

I know that this is a terribly biased opinion… so I want to hand the pitchfork over to the morning people. What say you?!
