I find it counterintuitive. I would've thought that a night owl is more compatible with being a social person. Much of our social exchange happens in the evening (you rarely meet friends before work). Getting up at 5am as an early bird doesn't really give you any more time with other people compared to getting up later. So why night owls should be less sociable confuses me.
- jariel 6y ago" Much of our social exchange happens in the evening (you rarely meet friends before work)." Socialization is not 'friends' it's 'everyone'.
- dx034 6y agoGood point but at all places I've worked, it's more likely to have meetings or other social exchanges after 5pm than before 8am.
- mywittyname 6y agoNot really. Even today, because of work, much of our socialization happens during the day time. For most of human history, the vast majority of people were asleep at night. So it's unlikely our night owl ancestors were terribly social.
