Isn't it possible that you are just more flexible to changing your cycle than others? I need a lot of sleep - I'm very jealous of my coworkers that can stay up

Isn't it possible that you are just more flexible to changing your cycle than others?
I need a lot of sleep - I'm very jealous of my coworkers that can stay up until 1-4 am and still be at work at 9. Meanwhile I need 8 hours of sleep minimum, or after 3 days I'm a zombie. Just last night I slept for 11 hours (no exaggeration) because I crashed after too many nights short of sleep.
I'm also a night owl - I wake at 7, and come night time I force myself to bed at 11 - I could be up for hours, but not if I want to wake on time, and while waking earlier would be great for my schedule, I can't just shift my 8-hour sleep window - I've tried.
It's possible that I and others with similar situations are just making excuses (and presumably that's true for at least some), but it's also possible that you are using your single experience to denounce others.
Please don't assume that because something is easy for you that it must therefore be easy for everyone, and that others that claim otherwise are just lazy.
- Puts 11y ago> Please don't assume that because something is easy for you that it must therefore be easy for everyone But I didn't say changing my sleep cycle has been easy, and I didn't even say I've managed to do it by my selves. Or that I even would have healthy sleep habits at this moment. But depending on mental health, diet, exercise, employment vs studies. These things have made me have all sorts of sleeping habits, and my personal belief is that these outer circumstances has had much greater impact on my sleep then anything in my genes. And that's why don't like this idea of morning and night persons as it only enhances thee feeling that you can not change your ways.
