This notion we're all fed that being a morning person makes you a better person? That being an early riser is morally superior?

That's some ableist nonsense that tries to erase variation in humans through shame. Chronotypes are a thing đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž https://www.healthline.com/health/chronotype
"Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) is a disorder in which a person’s sleep is delayed by two hours or more beyond what is considered an acceptable or conventional bedtime."

The late capitalist hellscape tries to control every aspect of our bodies... https://stanfordhealthcare.org/medical-conditions/sleep/delayed-sleep-phase-syndrome.html
so much so that we have an official diagnosis of a "disorder" based on variation in chronotypes if your chronotype conflicts with the culturally dominant "acceptable or conventional bedtime"

btw, that DSPS diagnosis? Useful in requesting disability accommodations
For me, IBD and DSPS are mutually reinforcing 🙃

I fit in real good at a 9 to 5 in office job, as you might imagine - that's why I've had so many of them đŸ˜†đŸ˜‚đŸ€Ł
