When we say "night owl", it is fair to assume we mean someone that would stay awake late into the night without any kind of social stimulation. Nobody will be tired if they're going to a party with tons of people and loud music, but most people will eventually get tired if they are alone. Night Owls usually enjoy the deep solitude and quietness of the night.
- GFischer 16y ago"Nobody will be tired if they're going to a party with tons of people and loud music" I disagree, introverts (like myself and probably others here in HN) find social situations very tiring.
- cema 16y agoNot necessarily, some find it energizing. In my case (a night owl all my life) it also depends on the social group around me.
- astine 16y agoLarge parties with a bunch of strangers aren't the only form of social situation. When I was in college, I had a mostly regular group of friends that I'd hang around with and chat politics/philosophy/whatever till late in the might. Regularly to 2 AM, sometimes to 4 AM. These days, I spend most of my evenings alone and naturally go to sleep around 12:30 to 1:00 AM if left to my own devices. I'm definitely more of a night-owl and an introvert, but close proximity to friends, as I had in college, I would stay up real late.
- infinite8s 16y agoI agree. I used to fall asleep on the couch at loud parties in college.
