My biggest #1 worry when I am done with school and get a job is: "How am I going to deal with early hours?". Most jobs start at 8am, and I honestly wonder if I can do that. If I could, I would go to bed around 4am every night, and going to bed before 1am is damn near impossible (I have to be totally exhausted in order to do so). My sleep overall is fairly chaotic and has it's own problems, but one constant is it's always late. Fighting it causes a lot of problems too. I have tried for years and in many ways I have given up on trying to keep a regular sleep schedule. I'm thankful my research adviser acommidates to this for me.
It's not just me either, a lot of people I know have sleep cycles that seems out of alignment from the rest of the world. This article explains the background of this in short, and it suggests the work force and school needs to change somewhat to help accomidate these individuals. It would make it better for them, and increase productivity.

[MENTION=23583]21lux[/MENTION] obviously I thought of you as well.article exerpt said:We live in a world that worships the early riser. Think of everything we're told on the virtues of waking up early.
We tend to assume that late wakers are the partiers, the deadbeats, the ones who are so irresponsible they can't keep a basic schedule. The people I spoke to found these assumptions to be personally damaging.
Delayed sleep phase is extreme. Less than 1 percent of the population has it. But in talking with people who have the disorder, I wondered if their experiences are mirrored in people with less extreme chronotypes. What happens if you naturally like to sleep until 9 am but are forced to go in for an 8 am meeting? Or what happens to teens — who have delayed sleep phase in much higher numbers — who need to wake up for early morning classes?
