You give me hope. This would be my natural schedule...I thought it would revert after early-20s, but now I'm nearly 40, and my body just wants to do this (society and my kids do not want me to, so it's a struggle). Hopefully in 5 more years I can be aligned with the world again.

Young adults and teens were like this before COVID.

Normal for her demographic.

That's about my schedule too, I'm retired. I disagree with PPs, it is great and so far there are no health negatives. If that's your preferred schedule it makes sense to figure out a way to live that way when you are young, you'll be happier the rest of your life. When I was working I couldn't do it except on the weekends and holidays. I did have one job that started at 4 pm for awhile, loved that while it lasted.

Same.

It's not great, but it is only temporary. Leave her be.

It's not great health-wise, but as long as she can get up at a normal time when she needs to...NBD.

This is my rising junior. He has been like this for years and I’m told he’s not alone. He manages to get up for work and class early when necessary so I’m just letting it be but it can’t be healthy.

Those were my hours at that age. She’ll adjust in the future.

Should I be concerned? She is living at home for the summer due to a gap between her college lease ending (June 1) and when she moves into her apartment in new city for graduate school (August 1). She stays up until 3-4 and then gets up at 12 or 1.
