EARLY BIRD // NIGHT OWL??

 

 THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE MOST COMMON DEBATE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD AS TO WHO IS A MORNING BIRD AND LIKEWISE, A NIGHT OWL.

WHICH ONE ARE YOU? HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT? AND WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF BEING ONE?

LET'S FIND OUT.

• WHAT IS AN EARLY BIRD//NIGHT OWL??

Basically, an early bird is a person who enjoys the morning time more than any other time throughout the day. A morning person finds that time of the day most profitable for getting things done.

On the contrary, a night owl as the name suggests finds the nighttime even sundown for that matter more enjoyable and blissful. 

We can also refer to them as "larks" and "nyctophiles" respectively.

So if you like the morning sun better than the starlit night sky or vice versa now you know ;)

• WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF BEING ONE OF THE EITHER?
  
  

These cannot be called pros and cons per se but more so the preferences leading up to the advantages and disadvantages each situation undergoes independently.

This need not necessarily mean early risers or night owls are productive in the morning or at night respectively; this can be either way out too.

Labeling either one of these chronotypes better than the other would be unduly one-sided and to be honest,  pointless. 

Society finds early birds as more accomplished and "better" than night owls which just sounds tyrannical and in a way kinda silly.

On the other side of the spectrum, some say night owls are highly intellectual almost supernatural beings which sounds even more absurd to me😂.

Although, this could be true that early birds find productivity and the will to work in the mornings and correspondingly the night owls at night. It's all well and good in the time when your brain finds itself the keenest and the most perceptive.

If you like to start your grind in the morning or at night, it's your call.

• HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

It is important to apprehend that each one of us has an unbiased twenty-four hours of the day and how and when to use it is completely in our own hands. No one should be propelled into doing something that doesn't prompt their brains at any given time of the day.

The sole essence of being one is how much more you feel yourself and can provide your mind the peace it needs.

As I always say that it's important to analyze your strengths, lifestyle, consequences, and most importantly YOUR preferences to call yourself either one of these chronotypes.

It's about WHEN you feel the most creative and focused and not the other way around.

If you can't wake up early without being cranky, listen to me I've been there; just don't. 

Examine yourself, what are you naturally drawn to? When do you feel the most awake? What brings your mind the peace it has been craving? 
Asking yourself will provide all the answers.

Also, another one of the important points I would like to add here would be GET. ENOUGH. SLEEP.
Whatever you're about to do, get proper sleep or else you won't be able to do anything.

If you like your sun-soaking early waft or the late-night chilly breeze, it's your individual choice.

WHICH ONE AM I?

Hands down a night owl. I ain't gonna lie here, it is embarrassing how many times I've tried to become a morning person by reading tons of articles, the benefits; oh boy that was a journey which sadly, didn't go as I thought it would.

Since then I realized that even if there are dozens of surveys conducted throughout the world, (which I'm fascinated by, obviously) science can have its fair share of exceptions and it's okay to be that exception. 

Whatever type that you may or may not fit in you must remember that this is superficial and that it doesn't depict who you are. At the end of the day how we use our time is more vital than when. This is merely a general connotation that helps you know your disposition, resilience, and flaws better. Recognizing your potential and using it wisely is your path to seize the day.
