The majority of people who call themselves "night-owls" are not more productive at night, they just want to sleep in and stay up late.

I know a lot of people who say they are night-owls and cannot wake up in the morning to be productive. However these people are also the ones who sleep in until 3 PM, laze around, do the laundry, then scroll on their phone until 4 AM to go to sleep.

I am not saying that people need to wake up early to be productive, but the majority of people who say they are more productive at night are not productive at all. They use it as a coping mechanism for staying up late and sleeping in.

Obviously this doesnt apply to people who work night shifts or have some responsibility that needs to be completed during night hours.
