We're insomniacs.
No way. We aren't trying to get to sleep.
We're unhappy.
Only when we're not allowed to follow our natural schedule.
We have a medical problem.
We're as healthy as most, and more than some. For instance, you won't find us getting skin cancer from too much sunbathing.
We're wierd.
Who's calling who wierd?
The Bozo Boss Misconception: We're lazy, dishonest, and trying to fool everyone because we want credit for working at night but we don't actually do it.
This is an evil misconception. It doesn't just show a lack of respect for our natural body rhythms, it says we're liars, frauds... Employers always seem to feel this way, even when we're doing the kind of work that can be measured somehow. All I can say to these people is: Have you ever observed a Night Person at work during his or her peak time? After you've sat up with one of us and seen how productive we are, say that again
We're hooked on caffeine.
It doesn't take coffee and coke to keep US up!
