    Schools - and some businesses - see getting up early as some kind of achievement, a trait to be proud of. A thought that was mirrored in the influencer scene with the insane ‘grindset’ videos. Get up early and get done more than the others… Completely ignoring that the amount of sleep we need doesn’t change with how early you get up.

    Some people get up early and have no problem with that, but that’s not the case for everyone. In the dawn of time, it was better to have some people who get up early and some who prefer to stay up late: that way the tribe was better protected because the time where everyone was sleeping was minimized.

    Now everyone who biologically tends to be more productive when they can work late and get up late is painted as lazy and forced to work against their inner clock.
