I&#x27;ve received plenty of pushback for being a night owl.<p>Fortunately most of my employers have allowed flexible schedules, but school was far less accommodating. Plenty of friends have accused me of being a slack for sleeping in until noon (ignoring the fact that I&#x27;m frequently working until dawn).<p>When I&#x27;m home, my father always berates me for sleeping in. Even though I work a lot more than he does every day, he just perceives sleeping past 9am to be lazy.
