ITT: How to be a functional living night owl with day responsibilities.
When I was little, I woke up every saturday and sunday before 7am, dad always woke up early at like 6am for more than 40 years now, he cooked me a breakfast and I was hyped for cartoons on tv. Then as I got older and stopped watching morning cartoons I stopped waking up early on weekends. I slept more and more. At high school, when I didn't feel like waking up I just went there a couple hours later every morning (bless the class teacher). When I got there ordinarly at 8 I had to catch up some sleep later in the afternoon after I got home from school.
At a third year of hs I got a summer job at restaurant and had to wake up at 6am to go and fix everything in there, woke up early and came home at like 11 pm. I don't know how but I managed to not fuck up even a single day, I woke up on time everytime. Even when I had hangover.
Now I'm at college, and got really used to not wake up before 11am cause I put all my classes on the afternoon. After more than a half year at uni it's almost impossible for me to wake up before 9am, when I do, it cost me so much bloody effort and I need to get some sleep in the afternoon anyway.
Snooze after snooze after snooze after snooze every morning.
Today I woke up at 11am, now it's 16pm and untill now I was still sleepy. Got a nap at 15-16. Most productional-wise I get, is around 22pm-2pm, I feel like my senses are on the top of their strength and can produce really great things at those times.
How to reverse this shit? Is it normal? Also I stopped drinking coffee (cause I got sick of the taste after 5 years of drinking that shit) at morning when I quit hs, should I get back to it?
I don't really have any advice, but I'm in college and it's exactly the same for me. For my summer job I woke up at 6AM no problem, hangover and all. When it comes to college though I cannot wake up before 11AM and I, too, am most productive at night (midnight - 1AM is god tier productivity). When I do wake up I'm fucked until 2PM.
It's weird. I sometimes reset my schedule by pulling an all-nighter and then going to sleep quite early the next day. I always fall back into bad habits, though.

are you me?
Your sleep pattern usually changes with your age, this is normal

Unless it's causing you actual problems, don't worry about it
