This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"Night owl" sleep preference is a real thing and isn't a choice (being largely genetic). Night owls forced to obey a daytime schedule suffer from what researchers call "social jet lag" because it constantly feels like they're living in the wrong time zone. Here's a 3-minute AsapSCIENCE video with more details for anyone interested.

Im not going to disagree with you, but i have this nagging suspicion that most people who think they are "night owls" are really just shining a phone light in their face every night and confusing their sleep cycle.

Night owls have been a thing since long before cell phones existed

The increase in people who can't sleep because of cell phone usage at night has increased because of cell phones. This is a well known thing. No one is saying night owls didn't exist before cellphones.

Or night owls just fuck a lot more than early birds, so we're taking over the population

Conspiracy! You all will turn into vampires later....I saw it in that true blood documentary.
