- Misconceptions About Night People

We have a medical problem.
We’re as healthy as most. You won’t find us getting skin cancer from too much sunbathing.

We’re lazy, dishonest, and trying to fool everyone because we want credit for working at night but don’t actually do it.
This is a horrible misconception. It shows a lack of respect for our natural body rhythms, and it says we’re liars, frauds. Have you ever observed a Night Person at work during peak time? After you’ve sat up with one of us and seen how productive we are, say that again.

We’re insomniacs.
We’re not insomniacs. We aren’t trying to get to sleep.

We’re unhappy.
Only when we’re not allowed to follow our natural schedule.

We think we’re vampires or have some other kind of odd self image.
Do you think you’re the sun god Amon-Ra just because you’re a Day Person?

We’re criminals who use the excuse of staying up late to cover our crimes.
Sure, and all the people who are up in the daytime are law-abiding citizens. Crimes are only committed at night.

We’re hooked on caffeine.
It doesn’t take coffee and coke to keep us up all night.

The only reason we stay up late is to go to bars, cavort, and party.
We like to party as much as the next guy, but don’t blame us just because we’re always the last to leave.

We’re delinquents and degenerates.
How do you know? Do you follow delinquents and degenerates around at night? If you do, what’s your problem?
