I'd like to know if this stuff is congenital, or if it can be changed by altering your sleep cycle.
In other words, if someone who is naturally a night owl becomes an early-riser by force of practice, will they retain this "second wind" in the evenings?
- timcederman 17y agoYou won't retain the second wind if my experience is anything to go by. With my 2am-9:30am sleep cycle, I could stay alert until pretty much any time I liked (very useful for writing a PhD, etc). Now that I am forced to wake up at 7:30am, I find myself crashing at 10pm.
- dasil003 17y agoSame for me. 2am - 9am is fine for me. But when I go to bed at 10pm I don't want to get up until 8am. If I force myself to get up at 6am then I'll be pretty much spent by 8pm as far as any serious mental work goes.
