The Precarious Flight of the Night Owl

The night owl seem to be quite an endangered species these days and early birds have taken over the world. Night owls are either subjected to propaganda like "The early bird gets the worm", and they soon convert over mesmerized of this hypnotizing chant or forced to convert by sheer peer pressure. What the early birds don't tell us is that there's plenty of worms on the ground for getting! Yeah, and we can spot them better at night because we're all bright eyed and bushy tailed too (at night)!

Just about every company is overrun by early birds. Even those who used to be night owls are sometimes forcing the transition and overdosing on bitter coffee at Starbucks just to keep up. We tread lightly these days since we are now out numbered. But hear this, there is going to be a revolution that will change this fine feathered conspiracy back into the way nature had intended. Night owls will once again unite to fight for our proper wake-up time and live amongst our nocturnal friends once again.

What makes a night owl? There are various telltale signs that distinguishes a night owl from an early bird.

1. Early birds are naturally perky at wee hours of the morning while night owls melt away from a warm bed and walk in their sleep towards the bathroom.
2. Night owls don't communicate or utter any sounds until after having a fresh hot cup of coffee.
3. Early birds are known to utter phrases like "Up and at 'em!", "Early to bed - early to rise, yada, yada, yada...", or "Good morning, Sunshine!" On the other hand, night owls utter phrases like "Shut the hell up - it's too damn early!", "Where's my coffee?", or "Is it time to go home yet? (at 8:00 in the morning)"

Why should night owls revert back to their rightful time in the nocturnal world? For the simple reason of the benefits of being night owls.

1. We naturally function a lot better at night.
2. We have an easier flight to and from work since the streets aren't littered with early birds who honk their horns at the first sign of a green light if you are a second behind in accelerating from a stop.
3. We aren't restricted to force our sleep routine to coincide with our work routine of nine to five (nine to five work in the morning; nine to five sleep at night).

So there you have it! Night owls unite and let's regain back what we have lost! Our proper time is at night and we should be allowed to freely return back to our natural habitat!
