    Damn morning people, idk why we night folks let them define things like business hours, we could have had everything opening at like 2PM instead :/

    One day night we’ll take it back…

      Sometimes it’s hard to smell something that’s all over you, you don’t know till you take a shower and go back to your room that you stank af

      I always suggest airing out your room while you shower

      Then the dog comes in, and smells a snack he can lick up, while you try to keep them away, and play it off cool…but that dog REALLY wants that snack!

      And thats when your friends walk into you getting an unwanted bj from a dog, and everybody is like “OH MY GOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD!!!”

      And you’re like “wait, no, I can explain!!!”

      I’m imagining it like it could have been a scene in “Theres something about mary”

    6am friends could have also brought about world peace, but no, they had to wake up the 11am friend.

    • And yet, they seldom want to stay up past 9 to party it up, despite society labeling that behavior totally normal.

      The early birds sometimes pick and choose to an absurd degree.

    Why can’t people just compromise at a time like 10 AM instead of dying on their mutually incompatible hills?

      For real tho.
      Why are we playing by morning people rules? We need to make some decisions in late afternoon after morning people already went to sleep, those lazy bastards! :D

          Yeah, all morning ppl are loud af - it’s as if it’s some kind of rule or a dominance tactic to keep us in check.

          • Seriously, every morning from 7AM to 9:30AM my neighbors (a dense building of them) do shit like chainsaw trees, test their fire alarms, upset their barking dogs, and scream - literally fucking scream.

            Meanwhile, at 1AM I’m tip toeing around when my dog needs to go out.

            Morning people tend to be composed of a higher percentage of assholes.

              Asshole raised as if it’s their god-given not just right, but an obligation to spread the morning-people way of life to everyone (by any means necessary or possible), as it’s the only correct one and others a inherently heretic.

      Fellow stay at home friend here, 🫡 I got your six. From my home.

    I am so jealous. I am lucky if I’m able to sleep until 6 am. The dogs sometimes wake me up at 4:30 and my wife snores like a sawmill.

        I’ve tried and I can’t fall asleep with them in. Believe me, I’ve tried every suggestion anyone has come up with.

        Part of the problem is that it’s really hard for me to fall back to sleep if something wakes me up.

          I sleep in the guest bedroom most of the time. My husband and kids all understand its just healthier that way.

            That is probably the best solution, but I’d hate it. We’ve slept in the same bed since 1995.

        • Silicone earplugs, that don’t enter the canal, solved this long-standing problem for me. I sympathise with you regardless, a snoring partner is a difficult situation for both parties.

        • Oof. I used to be that way (and a light sleeper). White noise really helped keep me asleep, and got me to where I don’t need it anymore. I’m sorry that it didn’t work for you.

      Mouth tape. Explained how much snoring affected me and the missus started using it. Cheap, simple, and the snoring stopped inside a week.

      As for the dogs, stop rewarding then when they bark. Don’t feed em, let em out, whatever it is they’re wanting that they bark for that you keep doing. Sounds like they’ve trained you.

        With the dogs, it’s a light sleeper issue. If they start moving around, they wake me up and I can’t get back to sleep. And then I have to use the bathroom and I’m totally awake.

    I want to punch whoever thinks being a shifted sleeper (4am-noon or 6am-2pm in my case) is a bad thing. I had a job that loved me for taking all the late shifts that my age cohort didn’t want so they could have a social life. I just didn’t want to have to wake before noon. :D

    If I try (and fail) to keep social hours, aka business hours, I have to contend with severe insomnia (in bed by midnight, awake til sunup), or I just don’t sleep. Either is bad for me, my health, and the sanity for those around me.

    Where I live, most things are finished by noon, and stores close at 4 on the weekend. Late night shopping means open til maybe 7pm on a Friday. (I miss my home city/country. Weekend hours til 6pm, late night (open til 9pm) three nights a week. Moving here was like going back in time forty years.)

    Grr Argh and stuff.

        What I wouldn’t give to be somewhere where stores don’t close down while the sun is still up. This is a capital city, even.

    I used to be the 1pm friend, but then a got a job that starts at 1am. Now I’m up at 5am on the weekends, and I’m still technically sleeping in.
