This list is a place for people whose circadian rhythms don't quite match up with the rest of society. We're night owls. (Many of us have Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, or DSPS.) We like to get up late and stay up late. We aren't any lazier than anyone else; we just find it difficult to function at times when our body clock tells us we should be sleeping.

On this list we can vent about bosses who expect us to come in for 7:00 am breakfast meetings, sports competitions with 7:30am starting times, "flex" hours that aren't truly flexible, and other trials of night owl life. We can also share tips for coping, medical info, and job leads for workplaces that treat night owls well. :-)
