How To Cope With A 9 To 5 When You Are Not A Morning Person by adamasmag: 10:35pm On Mar 27, 2019
Life is a not a one- way street. Everybody cannot be a morning person. Life is rather a mixture of diverse people with different personalities and diverse interests.

It is amazing how some people find it very easy to wake up 4:00am every morning to start their day while some others snooze their alarm and find it difficult to get out of bed.

If you not a morning person, don’t sweat it. What really matters is your overall productivity not the time you wake up.

“Bloom where you’re planted” applies to you here!

The truth is, it’s not about how much you sleep or don’t sleep. It’s what you do while you’re awake that matters.
The reality is that there’s no benefit to being a “morning person” and there’s no right or wrong time to deploy your energy against the things that matter the most. Far too many people focus and waste tons of time and energy on the things that don’t map to what they (or their business) want to accomplish.

Streamline your morning routine.
You hate getting up early, so the obvious solution is to sleep later. How do you do that?
“Take a shower, lay out your clothes, pack your briefcase and make your breakfast and lunch the night before the workday. Taking care of these routines can shave an hour off your morning and score you an extra hour of sleep every night. That can lead to dramatic improvements in a.m. reaction time, alertness, mood and productivity.

Encourage yourself to be more organised.
Have a particular bag , or container for keeping everything. The more organised you are, the more time you save to achieve your daily task.

At night when you are most active, utilise your time and do something productive.

If you try to be a copy cat and follow the early risers then you might be doing your health more harm than good. Some people eventually fall sick or go around grumpy and cranky all day long.

What is the beauty of life, if you are not enjoying your life to the fullest?

Lastly, you are not inferior in anyway, that is just the way you are wired.

As a matter of fact you are rockstar !
Embrace yourself �

If I could get a befitting graduate job that involves only night shift,I will be the happiest person in Lagos.
My most active moment is between 11pm to 4am.



I think I will just relocate. I can't cope with day job in Lagos

OP, forget, late risers are usually not organised. You have to get them to start waking up early first before teaching them to be organized. It's a Process.

Here are Solutions.

(1) Get yourselfurself a very Loud alarm clock, with time you'll be waking up on your own, before the alarm clock even.
OR
(2) Find yourself a Live in Nocturnal Human whose job is to wake you up with Cold water every morning.
OR
(3) Own your own business (that way, you can sleep as you want)

Not being an early morning person means they can't function optimally in the morning. They are more alive at night and mostly drag through tasks in the morning.

How would the above solve it? It is not about waking up. It is about the routine. Their bodies are more relaxed to sleep in during the early hours while they are more active at night when all of us are tired and knackered.

Nice write up. If it were really 9 to 5 in Lagos especially, a lot more would cope better, but we have jobs where people resume 7/8 a.m and don't even know when they will close for the day plus the curse of traffic.

If you're not a morning person, there is a great chance that you're not cut out for the 9 -5 life. Just start your own hustle, put your night to good use, and sleep when the rises. Things will work out in the long run. Wish you'd trust me -- I mean you night owl reading my post.
