Nocturnal people are easy to find. Look around and you will learn that 4 out of 10 people are nocturnal. Who are they? Those who always reach late at the office because they sleep late every day, owing to the fact that night makes their mind wander. Popularly recognized as night owls, these people have a universe of their own and the world doesn’t fit anywhere in that. The darkness of night provides them the much-needed calm and peace, they love the silence as their mind speaks louder in quietude.
A night owl loves to get his/her work done in night, daytime is just a buzz kill for them. However, the world doesn’t run on their rules so they have to make money for their bread and butter that makes their life more struggling than others. If you are one of them then you will totally relate to these things.
1. You Live On Snacks.
Your fridge and extra space in the kitchen are filled with snacks and eateries because you need to munch on them at night. Normal people have a budget of the month, you have a budget for a month’s food and night eateries, which obviously means extra load on your pocket.
2. Your Friends Message You 24*7.
Because they know that even at 3:30 am you will have your eyes wide open. However, it gets irritating when you are up for work or god forbid it is one of those days when sleep decided to be your best friend. Waking up to the message of a friend sucks then.
3. You Practically Invented Binge Watch.
If not you then who else? You love binge watching T.V. shows and movie series. You can finish seasons in one night without even hitting the thought that you actually need to sleep.
4. Most Of You Are Creative As Hell.
The reason we said most of you and not all of you is because some of you are lazy as hell. However, mostly those focused thoughts at nights allow you to reach the best creative level and produce some praiseworthy work.
5. You Just Can’t Wake Up Early Morning.
You can set people on fire if they try to wake you up early. You keep your alarm just about right time so that you can wash your face and run to work.
6. People Don’t Understand That You Actually Can’t Sleep At Night.
It’s not like you haven’t give it a shot. The daily struggles have put so much pressure on you at times and tried to sleep early, however, the decades-old routine makes it impossible every time.
7. Sundays And Other Holidays Are Your Favourite.
Hell yeah! You absolutely love them because you do not have to wake up till noon which means you get to sleep as much as you want. That carefree sleep has more value than an 11 am free brunch.
Sounds familiar? Well, we know it too. You are not alone, there are many others who feel the same and crib for a world that just let you be the way you are. Have you any other struggle that we forget to add? Do let us know, you night owl!
