This article discusses the issue of "chronotype discrimination" against night owls in a society that values early risers. It highlights how societal norms and work schedules often favor those who prefer to wake up early, leading to disadvantages for night owls in various aspects of life. The article explains the concept of chronotype and how it affects people's natural sleep-wake pattern. It also explores the negative effects of forcing night owls to conform to early morning schedules, such as decreased productivity and increased health risks. The author advocates for greater flexibility in work schedules to accommodate different chronotypes and promote equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their preferred sleep patterns.
