Early bird or night owl: when do you get your best ideas?

darksurfer4 said:I work a job that involves night shifts, and honestly, I absolutely loathe them!!!! By the next day, my brain is just completely fried; I simply haven't mastered the art of sleeping while the sun is actually up!! What’s even more infuriating is how often I miss out on half of the Champions League matches—I'll turn on the TV and within sixty seconds, I'm out cold...

During these graveyard shifts where there’s practically zero work to be done, I find myself scrolling through Reddit, and man, it is incredibly toxic. You'll see people posting at 3:00 or even 4:00 AM saying they need to get going because they have to head into work in the morning, and it makes me wonder: what kind of shape are they actually in when they show up to their jobs???!!!????

Thinking back to some of the more famous figures who were known night owls, I think of Hitler, Stalin, Rembrandt, and Edison. Take Hitler, for example; he achieved incredible successes during his early reign, but eventually, Hitler becomes totally irrational and drags his entire country straight into catastrophe!!!!

And don't even get me started on Stalin. He was a liberal, an artist, a poet, always ready to lend a hand to anyone—only to transform into a paranoid wreck who ended up executing or sending almost his entire government and military leadership to a gulag!!!!

Is it possible that these bouts of irrationality exhibited by Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin could actually be attributed to chronic sleep deprivation???

Would you rather be Stalin or Hitler?😁

Easy.🤣

Honestly, I’ve always thought about wanting to be Stalin—the man had a great hairstyle, and let’s be real, he was an effective dictator... kind of fits my vibe, I guess.🤣

Honestly, Hitler had a better haircut and overall styling.

"I'm honestly hoping this little invention of mine finally solves the massive human flaw known as wasting time by sleeping"

Think back to when Thomas Alva Edison stood there presenting the very first incandescent light bulb back in 1879...

I see we’ve decided to dive into the habits of Stalin and Hitler, so let's just keep this momentum going then...

When things were relatively calm, Stalin used to turn in around 1:00 AM and was up by 5:30 or 6:00 in the morning. But once the war hit? His schedule went completely sideways; he’d be sitting down for dinner at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning and wouldn't even bother waking up until 7:00!!! He’d also take these little five-minute naps throughout the day, often just slumped over in a regular old chair...

As for Hitler, he was a total night owl, staying awake until roughly 3:00 AM to write his speeches or run through his exercises—he actually spent time training his arm just so he could hold that Nazi salute for longer periods, and he had a bit of a thing for photography too...

Oh, I almost forgot to mention one more thing about Stalin... Apparently, he would spend entire nights watching Westerns starring John Wayne. He didn't understand a single word of English, and since there weren't any subtitles back then, he had no idea what they were saying, yet he'd sit there and watch the exact same movie five nights in a row if he felt like it!!!!!
