I'm an early riser, always has been. My brother and mother are night owls but I somehow got my father's gene for getting up very early in the morning. All through high school I had a long walk to the train and had to get up at 6. I don't think I was ever late because of my tardiness. Today when I get to work at 8.30 I've already done my workout and some work on hobby stuff. This has been the case since my early 20s.
On the flip side, staying up late at night is absolutely horrible. I love hackathons and have been to three of them with my colleagues this year and I'm always such a buzz kill when I have to get some sleep past midnight. I wake up and a lot of the best code has already been written by them.
We're all different. I wish society was more adapted to people of all configurations, with more adaptable work schedules. And party schedules, even though missing out on them is not as bad as all the ways night owls are judged as lazy by ignorant people.
