"Every late sleeper has heard it: The chorus of comments that bounce off the walls when they come downstairs after 9 a.m. " Look who decided to join us," your parents might say, as they sip their third coffee and rattle off everything they've already accomplished. "Welcome to the land of the living!" On TikTok, many people are talking about sleeping in late, how it gets a bad rap, and how it's sometimes even met with disdain."
"From a late riser's perspective, there's nothing wrong with feeling more lively in the evening or enjoying the peacefulness of midnight - those quiet hours after all the rowdy morning people have gone to bed. In fact, many view it as a way of life. In Sonya's comments, one person wrote, "Night owls unite! We ride at sundown." Another joked, "I'm soooo suspicious of morning people. Like, why are you awake?""
"Creator @janibellrosanne also talked about the intense pressure to become a morning person, but noted that it's common to eventually slip back into your beloved night owl ways. "It's a lifestyle," she said in the clip. "It's a way of being. I just like being up in the wee hours of the night. The stillness. Everyone's asleep. It's quiet. Being in bed by 10 is giving sacrilegious.""
Many people face social pressure to adopt early-morning schedules and encounter snark or contempt for sleeping late. Conversations on social media highlight that early risers often boast about waking early and may belittle night owls. Night owls report enjoying evening vitality, peaceful late-night hours, and a distinct lifestyle identity that can revert despite attempts to shift earlier. Viral posts and comments express solidarity among late sleepers and skepticism toward morning people. Cultural associations of early rising with productivity contribute to labeling late sleepers as lazy, underscoring a need for greater respect and acceptance of diverse sleep patterns.
