![]() Interestingly, another theory is that the hours owls keep mean they're more likely to self-medicate with drinking and drugs, backed up by another study that found a link between owls and depression. Yep, apparently, we do run a higher risk of health complications (I'm not going to list them because that's hella depressing, but you can have a read here) but the link hasn't been explained, with researchers speculating that it's possibly to do with the fact that owls are forced to live in a lark-based world, depriving ourselves of sleep when we shouldn't have to. It's a protection impulse, which worked then but nowadays could cause serious complications, and it goes some way to explain the 'night owls die earlier' article that I previously skipped over. Not a huge worry now, but when environments change so quickly it takes a lot longer for our brains to catch up, which may explain the primal tug of isolation and fear I get every time I wake up, knowing the rest of the working world is already having lunch. Some more than others, but on the whole, we don’t realise how important being part of society is for our mental health ancient humans relied on the concept of community to survive, because being part of a group meant you were less likely to starve or get eaten by a tiger. We dont wake up in the morning with the primary goal of making money, but we understand that the best way to achieve our mission is to build a strong and valuable company. Humans as a species are hardwired to conform. There were also the people who simply replied "Oh god this is me" and "Ugh my guilty secret". Business partners who own sustainable fashion brand RILKA told me how waking up early feels bad for their mental health "but we still get shit done". "Doesn't really matter - open software development has no timetable!" Neither does cricket commentary, with commentator Geoff Lemon tweeting: "Thankfully most cricket doesn’t start until 11am", adding that he has "three books and hundreds of articles almost entirely written between 10pm and 4am". "These days I seldom crawl out of bed before noon," Howard Chu, a software engineer who created the world’s smallest, fastest, most reliable embedded transactional database, said. A lighthouse keeper (!) got in touch to tell me he starts work "when the sun goes down" (obvs) and a chef tweeted me that she usually starts at 10am and would never, ever be a breakfast chef. Business development managers who’ve never closed a deal before 11.30am ("EVER"). I had messages from scientists who "don’t appear in the lab before 10.30am". ![]() Sign up for Fortune Features Email list so you don’t miss out on our biggest features, exclusive interviews and investigations.It wasn’t just writers and creatives, either. Meta did not respond immediately of fate Comment request. He said there is usually less “bite” with images and to be “critical” than text. Versus Instagram, which Zuckerberg said, can be a positive experience because of the positive energy that can be absorbed by users. “I think it’s hard to spend a lot of time on Twitter without getting too upset,” he said. He also said that one of his main rivals contributes to his personal tension. Zuckerberg said he gets that, even as the head of the two major social media platforms. The two began discussing balance at a time where there is so much digital access to information and social media being sucked in. Zuckerberg paused for a moment and replied that there are always things to be done. Rogan said that pressure must have been looming over him in the background. Rogan said he imagined Zuckerberg’s life might be one running bizarre social media sites and basically managing billions of people. “After an hour or two of workout… I’m ready to address any problems at work for the day, and I’ve thoroughly processed all the different news for the day ahead.” “It’s really important to me in terms of what I do to keep my energy level up and maintain my focus,” Zuckerberg said. Of those physical activities, he tells Rogan that he loves jujitsu-there’s something “elementary” about it. Instead, he tries to do anything physical that requires complete concentration-his goal is to be completely physically and intellectually involved to the point where he can’t afford to focus on anything else. He said it doesn’t involve running for him, as he said it’s hard for him to avoid thinking while running. So Zuckerberg said he takes all the information and then does something physical for an hour or two to reset.
