(28,493 posts)Morning people have an unkind tendency to think they are superior to night owls. Not true at all. We have different internal schedules.
I'm a night owl, always have been, still am at age 69. We all need to be grateful that there are those who thrive on different wake/work/sleep schedules.
Of course, Donald the Trump's laziness is, in reality, utterly unconnected to the hours he puts in. If he woke up at 6am and made it to the Oval Office at 7, he'd still be knocking off after five, maybe six hours, then spend the afternoon on the golf course.
He, like so many others at the top, haven't a clue what a full day's work really entails.
As for me, most of my life I worked shift work, and when I had to be at work at 6am it was awful, although I did it. Of course, by the time I got to work I'd been up for an hour or more and had a cup of coffee, so by then I was perky and cheerful. I was an airline ticket agent, and it was quite gratifying to be perky and cheerful to passengers who'd just crawled out of bed 30 minutes earlier, weren't quite awake yet, but didn't dare snap at the perky and cheerful young thing so early in the morning.
Anyway, the real issue is the laziness and how little time he spends working, not so much what time he finally slithers into the Oval Office.
