Night owls have more grey matter in their brains than early birds
I’m certifiably a night-owl and definitely not a morning-person (to the point where I employ licensed caregivers to yell at me in the morning - my psychologist recommended it!) - but I wouldn’t attribute it in any way to being “social” - for some reason I just find it significantly easier to be focused, motivated, and productive after 6pm than any time before.I used to attribute it to my horrible procrastination and how only in the night before a school or uni homework deadline I’d crank something out out of desperation, but it’s still an ongoing habit with my current day-job (er... night-job?) where deadlines aren’t really a thing (I love my boss) but I still feel most-productive in the evenings.I’m ASD+ADHD[1] too - and I see similar things with other people I know with similar diagnoses. I believe they’re all related.[1]: I really dislike the “ADHD” label because I’m not hyperactive in any way - or resemble stereotypical symptoms - if I could rename whatever it is I’ve got I’d call it “Motivation deficit” or similar.
