Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Jake2015]

And a Question for you all due to an insight I just had:

I have realised that I'm a night owl. I have always known this but as I procrastinate all day from studying, the time here is now close to midnight and now finally I sit to study. In fairness sleep or drowsiness does enter my eyes so no idea if this is a subconscious defence stopping me from studying haha

So my question is, is there a sub to repel this night owl function and help me to function at my best during the day and sleep during the night?

If you are wondering why, then allow me to shed more light on this first, before you answer:

Basically my university functions like all on a daytime schedule. Lectures are in the very early hours of the morning. Exams are also in the very early hours of the morning.

Coffee shops to post offices/mail rooms to shops and stores all function predominately on a day time schedule.

To be a night owl is great and fun but its not conducive for the day time world. It means I'm like a night shift worker sleeping or being tired in the day when others are out working. I need to change this, rescript my mind so that I function in the day at my best and sleep at night as nature intended.

perhaps my night owl is due to me believing the night is quiet and serene, or perhaps its a false belief and really is simply a bad habit that I created which I think could be the real case, or even a far bigger truth could be that this is a safety net and in actual fact I believe am a night owl when perhaps all I am is a day time procrastinator?

I however do know that I am working now at night because I have wasted all day avoiding work, fear probably and now must work!

so any insights and help please to see what you all think?

Night owl syndrome is an attempt by the subconscious to avoid doing what it does not want to do by giving you the excuse that you can't do it because you sleep when it should be done, or something along those lines. I know, because I used to do this all the time.

E2 sounds like a good choice.

Fantastic, thank you so much, another vote of confidence for E2, its clearly the right sub for me to use now and to use fully and get my inner garbage cleaned out. Im really happy you advised me and suggested a sub Shannon and that it happens to also be E2, thank you and thank you for also explaining this night owl tendency which while productive at times, is not a viable long term option for success )
